Cox Powertrain - METSTRADE: Cox Powertrain to Preview CXO300 Engine Controls and Display Systems to European Market

METSTRADE, Amsterdam, 14th to 16th November 2017, Superyacht Pavilion Stand 11.702

Following the recent announcement of its partnerships with Xenta Systems and Murphy by Enovation, Cox Powertrain is revealing the all-important engine controls systems that have been exclusively chosen for its game-changing diesel outboard engine, the CXO300, at METSTRADE 2017.

Italian controls specialist, Xenta Systems has been chosen to supply the engine controls system for the CXO300. As the first company to develop and patent the intuitive joystick control system, Xenta System works closely with retrofit and OEM production markets to offer a fully integrated engine control package, resulting in a highly intuitive control system that provides seamless manoeuvrability of craft in close quarters.

Murphy by Enovation Controls has been selected to supply the new PowerView®1200 display screen offering full-featured engine diagnostics on a powerful display screen. Murphy by Enovation’s PowerView® display systems offer fully featured, configurable displays and easy-to-read operator interfaces. As Murphy’s largest engine display system, the new PowerView®1200 was chosen for its power, large memory and excellent connectivity. The 12.3-inch, glare-free LED screen, can be easily viewed, even in full sunlight and the display is fully bonded making it a perfect solution for all types of environments and applications.

The CXO300 is set for launch in the second half of 2018 following an intense period of trials. A solid and comprehensive sales, service and distribution network for the USA and Europe has now been finalised. The US dealers will join forces for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in November for the first time to present a full size model of the CXO300 to the US recreational market. More information about the new European distribution network will be revealed during METSTRADE.

About Cox Powertrain

Cox Powertrain is a world-leading British designer and builder of marine diesel outboard engines developed for worldwide and multi-market applications.

Based on the South Coast of England, Cox Powertrain is backed by the Ministry of Defence and a solid shareholder base of private and institutional investors. As a result, the company has been able to implement a long-term development programme of ground-breaking new products.

Led by ex-Cosworth CEO, Tim Routsis, whose background lies in engine development in global automotive, aerospace and marine markets, the company’s mission is to deliver a completely new concept in diesel engines that has the potential to revolutionise the marine market.

With a strong pedigree in Formula 1 racing and premium automotive design, Cox’s highly skilled team of engineers has decades of experience in combustion engines and understand the many difficulties customers are challenged with.

Cox’s first ground-breaking diesel outboard engine, the CXO300, is the highest power density diesel outboard engine ever developed. As a low weight, high power, single fuel engine, the CXO300 delivers the same performance and efficiency of an inboard but with the convenience and flexibility of an outboard.
