Cox diesel insight
British diesel engine innovator, Cox Powertrain, will release more information about the patented and unique technology that has been used in its pioneering new concept diesel outboard, the CXO300 at Seawork International in June, ahead its 2018 launch.
By showing the first cut-away model of the CXO300 during the show, Cox Powertrain will give visitors an opportunity to see the interior configuration of the engine and enable them to 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. Cox Powertrain is currently finalising the first phase of its global distributor network and will announce appointments throughout 2017 as they happen.
Visit Cox Powertrain at Seawork International 2016, Mayflower Park, Southampton, 13th to 15th June, Stand PY65.
