SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION
Domestic sales figures for outboard motors in the fiscal year
ended March 31,2005 stands 122% as against previous fiscal
year.
Looking at a breakdown by model, sales for the large 4-
stroke model increased dramatically, contributing to net sales
expansion.
Subsequently, emphasis will be placed on expanding the
lineup, developing 4-stroke outboard motors with concern for
conservation of the natural environment.
In term of exports of outboard motors in the fiscal year
ended March 31,2005, combining CBU and KD for Thai Suzuki,
units were 113% of the previous year and net sales were 104%
of the previous year. The increase in number of units and sales
amount were due to favorable of Suzuki brand outboard
motors, primarily to Europe.
At the Miami International Boat Show held in February 2005,
the DF150 (110.0kW, <150 horsepower>) and the DF175
(129.0kW, <175 horsepower>) debuted as Suzuki's new
models for 2006. Sale of these models is scheduled to begin in
autumn 2005.
Currently the Suzuki 4-stroke outboard motor lineup ranges
from the DF4 (2.9kW, <4 horsepower>), the smallest
horsepower model, to the DF250 (184.0kW, <250 horsepower>),
the largest horsepower model.
