12 SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION
The Japanese Market
The volume of all domestic outboard shipments for
the period from April 2008 to March 2009 declined
to 94% compared to the previous year.
Regarding our company, the volume of our do-
mestic outboard shipments declined to 92% com-
pared to the previous year.
We assume that this market trend will continue this
fiscal year but we hope to expand activities focus-
ing on sales of large outboard motors, particularly
the DF70, DF80, and DF90.
Overseas Markets
In terms of Outboard Motor exports in fiscal 2008,
combined shipment of CBU and KD for Suzuki
Motor Thailand declined to 82% in units and 71%
in amount compared to the previous year, due to
the worldwide economic precipice mainly in U. S.
and European markets.
The current Suzuki 4-stroke Outboard Motor lineup
ranges from the lowest horsepower model DF2.5
(1.8kW, 2.5 PS) to the highest horsepower model,
the DF300 (220.7kW, 300 PS).
All new DF8 (5.9kW, 8 PS) / DF9.9 (7,3kW, 9.9 PS)
and more fuel saving DF60 (44.1kW, 60 PS) were
introduced at Miami International Boat Show in
U.S. in February, 2009.
