Diesel outboard manufacturer OXE Marine yesterday announced that it is partnering with PUNCH Torino, an engineering center for propulsion systems and electronics. The collaboration will allow the companies to improve the diesels to meet future emissions regulation standards.
“We are eager to start this collaboration with PUNCH, with the focus on the 150- to 200-hp family of engines from an emission reduction point of view,” OXE Marine CEO Paul Frick said in a statement.
The partnership introduces many opportunities for OXE Marine, including access to various hydrogen-fueled, internal-combustion engines.
“Environmental sustainability is a core principle of our technology; working to turn this vision into a concrete reality is our mantra,” PUNCH Torino CEO Pierpaolo Antonioli said in the statement. “Partnering with OXE … will lay the foundation for a collaboration to renew and improve the efficiency of OXE’s powertrains, thus helping to contribute to reducing environmental emissions.”
