FORT LAUDERDALE, US<\/b>A<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 October 31st, 2018\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Innovation takes time to perfect,\u00a0and Cox Powertrain\u2019s ground-breaking new CXO300 marine diesel outboard has been\u00a0ten\u00a0years in the making \u2013 resulting in one of the most highly-anticipated marine industry launches of 2018. Boasting remarkable performance, fuel efficiency and durability, the lightweight CXO300 is the highest power density diesel engine ever developed and looks set to spark unprecedented interest in the professional\u00a0and recreational\u00a0marine markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The original concept for a high-powered diesel engine had its roots in F1 and was developed by the firm\u2019s founder motor sports engineer, David Cox. But it was when this idea was taken to the marine sector that it really took off and development commenced for the world\u2019s most powerful diesel outboard. The project has attracted a substantial amount of investment and the firm has now established assembly facilities in Shoreham, England, with plans to announce its new US facility based in Florida soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Early in the development of the CXO300, Cox entered into a highly-successful collaboration with Ricardo,\u00a0one of the foremost engineering and design consultancies in the world, with specialist knowledge of environmental legislation. Experts at Ricardo recognized the game-changing potential of the Cox opposed piston engine and formed a working partnership that has been fundamental to the firm\u2019s development.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRicardo is pleased to have been able to support Cox throughout the development of the impressive CXO300 engine,” commented\u00a0Ian Penny, Director,\u00a0Ricardo\u00a0UK.\u00a0\u201cThe lightweight construction of this engine provides a compelling solution for performance outboard applications such as fast\u00a0RIBs, requiring high fuel efficiency and durability. On behalf of Ricardo I would like to congratulate Cox on the launch of the CXO300, an engine which I believe will be a\u00a0segment-defining product.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cox Powertrain\u2019s\u00a0Technical Director,\u00a0Stephen\u00a0Moore,\u00a0explained:\u00a0\u201cRicardo provided invaluable assistance both in helping to develop the CXO300 from a concept to a commercial reality and also\u00a0in\u00a0assisting the business\u2019 transition from a start-up to an international player.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0transition\u00a0from gasoline to diesel outboards is particularly prescient\u00a0considering\u00a0the\u00a0global\u00a0drive to\u00a0move away from\u00a0gasoline due to the dangers of storing the highly combustible fuel, as well as its poor eco credentials.<\/p>\n

Stephen\u00a0More\u00a0explains\u00a0what is it that makes the 4-stroke V8 architecture of the CXO300 so special:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe unique nature of the high-powered diesel outboard has been possible through the combination of innovative design\u00a0from air intake through to propeller shaft\u00a0and the application of state-of-the-art diesel engine design to achieve a product meeting stringent EPA emissions legislation. In addition to the usual\u00a0development challenges associated with a clean sheet design, we have also had to develop a supply chain, define build and test procedures and\u00a0develop critical engine systems\u00a0to suit the vertical installation.\u00a0We\u00a0predict users could save around US\u00a0$190,500 over the lifespan of the engine through\u00a0reduced fuel costs\u00a0and believe the engine itself should last approximately three times as long as\u00a0its\u00a0gasoline counterparts.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
