In partnership with Promobility Bikes, Suzuki Marine has introduced its next generation of four-stroke outboard motors to the Chilean market. This new lineup of propulsion systems is designed to optimize operational efficiency and minimize environmental impact along the country's coastlines.
The new engine line features Lean Burn technology, a system that optimizes the air-fuel mixture. According to the company, this innovation can deliver fuel savings of up to 30% during operation.
These models also feature an oil-bathed metal timing chain, a technical advancement aimed at lowering maintenance costs and ensuring high reliability under demanding conditions. Additionally, the series is characterized by a superior power-to-weight ratio and quiet operation.
Strategic Sectors and Sustainability
The DF30 AQHEL, DF30 ATS, DF140 BTX, and DF225 TX models are already available in the domestic market. Currently, these engines are targeting key industries such as artisanal fishing, salmon farming, and mariculture.
The company plans to expand into the recreational market by 2026. This strategy will include developing services for nautical tourism and sport fishing within Chile.
As part of its environmental strategy, the brand is promoting the “Suzuki Clean Ocean” program. This initiative addresses the issue of microplastic pollution in marine ecosystems.
The technology in these new engines includes mechanisms capable of collecting microplastics while in operation. Through this measure, the company aims to mitigate the presence of these pollutants in the marine environment.
Pricing for the new range begins with the DF30 AQHEL at $5,199,900. The DF30 ATS is priced at $5,499,900, while the DF140 BTX is available for $15,299,900. The most powerful model, the DF225 TX, is priced at $21,999,900.
