Cox Powertrain wins the 2021 Top Product award from trade magazine Boating Industry

The diesel outboard company of which Cartello Srl is the official distributor in Italy has announced that its revolutionary CXO300 has been named winner of the 2021 Boating Industry Top Product award.

Now in its eighth edition, the Boating Industry Top Products programme receives more than 250 entries every year from a great many companies and organisations showcasing their innovative products. Every product that was introduced or significantly updated since January 2020 was eligible for the award and, since its production began in May 2020, the CXO300 proved to be one of the favourites.

Built for both leisure and commercial purposes, the CXO300 is one of the few high-power diesel outboards on the market. Offering high torque at low rpm, 25% fuel savings compared with an equivalent petrol engine and with EPA Tier 3, RCD II and IMO II approval certifications, the CXO300 proves to be innovative not only in design, but also offers a low-environmental-impact choice in the boating market.

To echo the innovation of the CXO300, earlier this year Cox Powertrain launched its exclusive mobile engine management app, Coxswain™. This truly easy-to-use app was developed as part of Cox’s goal of raising the standard of customer service in the marine industry. The Coxswain™ app allows customers to book a service, manage their warranty and access essential owner documentation, all in the palm of their hand, making the app an invaluable tool for quick after-sales support.

Hugh Hudleston, Cox Powertrain’s Sales Manager commented: “Receiving recognition like this award is highly rewarding. 2020 was by no means an easy year and there were many milestones and challenges to overcome to get where we are today. So it is incredibly encouraging to learn that the 300 hp diesel outboard has been recognised as a top product of 2021 by the editors of Boating Industry.”

Almost a year after production began, the 300 hp diesel outboard engine is now available in more than 20 regions of the world, with customers ranging from leisure users to commercial and government. With a solid order book for the remainder of 2021 and 2022, demand for this outboard is set to grow and it will continue to shake up the boating market.
