SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION
MARINE PRODUCTS
The Japanese Market
Domestic sales figures for outboard motors in fiscal 2006
(between April 2006 and March 2007) rose dramatically, standing
at 118% compared to the previous year and net sales standing at
112% compared to the previous year.
The increases in the number of units and sales were mainly
due to an increase in 4-stroke models.
Subsequently, emphasis will be placed on expanding the
lineup, developing 4-stroke outboards with concern for
conservation of the natural environment.
Overseas Markets
In terms of outboard motor exports in fiscal 2006, combining
CBU and KD for Thai Suzuki, production was 116% compared to
the previous year while net sales stood at 123%. The increase in
the number of units and sales amount was mainly due to an
increase in shipments of outboard motors, primarily to North
America and Europe.
The current Suzuki 4-stroke outboard motor lineup ranges from
the lowest horsepower model DF2.5 (1.8kw/2.5 horsepower), to
the highest horsepower model, the DF300 (220.7kW/300
horsepower).
The DF300 was awarded the Innovation Award at the 16th
International Boat Builders Exhibition & Conference (IBEX) held at
the Miami International Boat Show in November 2006.
