Cox Marine to Discuss Diesel Outboard Technology at IBEX 2026
Cox Marine is heading to IBEX this year, where Hugh Hudleston will take to the stage as part of this year’s conference programme.
Taking place from 6–8 October 2026 at the Tampa Convention Center, IBEX brings together boatbuilders, engineers, designers and manufacturers to explore the latest developments shaping the marine industry. The event combines technical education with new technologies and expertise from across the sector.
As the marine sector looks for new ways to balance performance, efficiency and operational demands, diesel outboard technology continues to offer an important alternative for a range of marine applications.
At IBEX 2026, Hugh will join fellow industry experts to contribute to the conversation, bringing insight from Cox Marine’s experience developing high-performance diesel outboard propulsion.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to discover more about Cox Marine and the V8, its diesel outboard engine designed as an alternative to gasoline outboards for operators seeking durability, safety and interoperability.
With technical education and innovation at the heart of the event, IBEX 2026 provides an ideal platform for the industry to exchange knowledge and explore the technologies influencing the next generation of marine propulsion.
