Diesel outboards powering emergency response operations
Safe, dependable propulsion for fire, police and maritime rescue services
Supporting first responders when every second counts
In emergency situations, first responder vessels must perform without hesitation. From coastal rescue and police patrols to firefighting and disaster response, Cox diesel outboards deliver the reliability and performance needed to protect lives and property at sea.
Trusted by marine rescue teams in Australia, coast guards in Southeast Asia, and enforcement agencies across the Gulf, Cox outboards are engineered to respond fast, operate longer, and perform safely in high-pressure environments. With fuel efficiency, spark-free safety and low maintenance, they give responders the edge they need when lives are on the line.
Why Cox diesel outboards are ideal for first responders
Reduced risk of explosion
Safe operation in every situation
Cox diesel outboards use compression ignition rather than spark ignition, dramatically reducing the risk of explosion. For coast guard and fire vessels operating near volatile materials or in dangerous conditions, this makes our engines the safer choice.
30% better fuel efficiency
Extended range and endurance
Responders can’t afford to return to port mid-mission. With at least 30% better fuel efficiency than petrol engines, Cox outboards enable longer patrols, extended rescue operations and rapid deployment across wide maritime areas.
Fewer breakdowns
Low maintenance, rapid response
With extended service intervals and fewer breakdowns, The V8 stays mission-ready. That means fewer delays, more active service days, and greater confidence for responders on the water.
Key features – built for emergency response
Instant power and control
The twin-turbo V8 delivers high torque at low RPM for responsive handling – essential for navigating tight spaces, performing rescues, and maintaining control in rough seas.
Simple installation and integration
With a universal mounting pattern and compatibility with modern control systems, Cox outboards are ideal for new builds and repower projects in government fleets.
Engineered for tough conditions
Certified to EPA Tier 3, RCD II and IMO II standards, The V8 combines reduced emissions with industry-leading performance, helping first responders operate more sustainably while saving lives.
