STOCKHOLM, Sept. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cimco
Marine AB (publ.) has developed the next generation diesel-powered
outboard - OXE 300. It is the world's most powerful diesel outboard
and the most fuel-efficient outboard in its power range – consuming
some 40% less fuel than a modern gasoline outboard. Its unique,
game-changing, patented design is capable of delivering 680 Nm of
torque (the highest in any 300 hp outboard), available already at
1750 rpm – Perfect for commercial maritime operations where
strength, power, low fuel consumption and long range are
key.
The OXE 300 will be displayed and ready for tests on the
water at Genoa Boat Show 20th to 24th of September in collaboration
with Rama Marine. Orders for the OXE 300 can be placed starting
20th of September via the OXE distributor network. Production will
commence in May 2020.

Show.
After collecting many thousands of operating hours in commercial
applications across the globe, the current OXE series of Diesel
Outboards has clearly demonstrated its capabilities of strength,
durability and fuel efficiency.
"We are now particularly proud to present the new OXE 300
setting the benchmark for 300hp outboards. When designing the
OXE 300 the collective operative experience from hundreds of OXE
Diesel Outboards currently in operation was duly utilized to secure
highest levels of reliability, robustness and maturity. Our
specific commercial clientele deserves the best possible
performance and economic advantages whilst complying with the most
stringent environmental rules and regulations. For the commercial
operator Endurance, Reliability, Power and Control of the OXE 300
is key," says Ralf Losch, Chief
Commercial Officer at Cimco Marine AB.
In the tests performed to date - the OXE Diesel 300 has proven
to consume 40% less fuel than a 300 hp petrol outboard of the
latest model, increasing the potential range by 60%. The break-even
period when comparing OXE 300 to a 300 hp pleasure craft petrol
outboard varies between 500 and 1000 hours, based on purchase of
the products and fuel cost alone. Taking into
account that the OXE 300 also has longer operational life
span, less cost for maintenance and increased
safety, this break-even period is reduced further,
increasing the financial gains for the operator.
The OXE 300 delivers 300 hp on the propeller shaft and meets the
latest required emission standards. It reduces carbon dioxide by
more than 35%, carbon monoxide by more than 99% and combined
hydrocarbons and NOx by more than 70%, compared to petrol outboard
standards (EPA-Tier 3, RCD SI-Outboard and CARB 3 star).
"With our motivated and dedicated design and verification
teams we have been able to deliver a pre-production engine, ready
to be displayed and tested on the water at the Genoa Boat Show, 5
months before planned market launch," says Per Wigren, Chief Technology Officer at Cimco
Marine AB.
