12 SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION
Year in Review
Operating Results by Segment
In the marine and power products, etc. business, the net sales and
the operating income increased year-on-year owing to increase in
sales of outboard motors in Europe.
Overview of Marine Products
Suzuki’s domestic outboard motor sales volume in scal 2013 was
slightly down by 1% year-on-year. The net sales decreased by 5%
year-on-year due to a shift in demand toward smaller models. The
export sales volume also declined by 2% year-on-year. On the con-
trary, the net sales increased by 6% year-on-year due to a shift in
demand toward larger models.
Suzuki’s four-stroke outboard motors range from the DF2 (the
lowest-power model, which delivers 1.49kW/2PS) to the DF300 (the
highest-power model, which delivers 220.7kW/300PS). The Com-
pany produces small models in Thailand and larger models at the
Toyokawa Plant in Japan.
Suzuki Topic in Fiscal 2013
• In September 2013, Suzuki agreed with the French boat builder
Bénéteau for an exclusive supply of Suzuki outboard motors to
their outboard powered boats sold in four countries in Europe.
