SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION
MARINE PRODUCTS
The Japanese Market
Domestic sales figures for outboard motors in fiscal 2005
increased dramatically standing at 109% compared to the
previous year. Looking at a breakdown according to models,
sales of large 4-stroke outboards made a big raise, 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.
Overseas Markets
In terms of outboard motor exports in fiscal 2005, combining
CBU and CKD for Thai Suzuki, units were 117% compared to the
previous year and net sales were 108% compared to the previous
year. The increase in the number of units and sales amount were
due to an increase in shipments of outboard motors, primarily to
North America and Europe.
Currently, the Suzuki 4-stroke outboard motor lineup ranges
from the “DF2.5” (1.8kW/2.5 horsepower), the smallest
horsepower model that was added to the lineup at the end of
2005, to the “DF250” (184.0kW/250 horsepower), the largest
horsepower model.
Suzuki debuted the “DF300” (220.7kW/300 horsepower), a new
2007 model that holds the world’s largest output in the 4-stroke
class, at the Miami International Boat Show held in February 2006.
