Seawork International 2016, Mayflower Park, Southampton, 13th to 15th June, Stand PY65
Tuesday 13th June 2017 - British diesel engine innovator, Cox Powertrain, will today release more information about the patented and unique technology that has been used in its pioneering new concept diesel outboard, the CXO300, ahead of its 2018 launch.
Visitors and potential customers will have the opportunity to discuss the interior configuration of the engine and understand more about the ground breaking technology that makes the CXO300 the world’s highest power density diesel outboard.
The original concept of the CXO300 is based on a supercharged, two-stroke diesel opposed piston architecture with Scotch Yoke crankshaft and a central injector position. It has been designed to operate in the toughest of environments and will offer professional marine users gasoline outboard performance, with diesel economy and reliability. It is specifically targeted at commercial, government and military applications, where performance, durability and fuel efficiency are paramount.
Now in its pre-production gamma phase after an intense development programme, the CXO300 is set for a 2018 launch following a series of trials.
With the US and European distributor networks now in place, the company has begun appointing outside of these regions with distributors in Australia and New Zealand already confirmed. More information the company’s distributor network will be announced over the coming months.
Cox Powertrain will host its first distributor conference in Washington in June followed by a European distributor conference in July.
