New lightweight Suzuki DF20A/15A makes world debut at
Düsseldorf
Suzuki announced the launch of two new fuel-efficient and
high performance four stroke outboard motors - the all-new
DF20A and the new generation DF15A.
These new models, which made their world debut at the
Düsseldorf Boat Show on the 21st January 2012, will be the
first in their class to feature battery-less Electronic Fuel
Injection.
The new Electronic Fuel Injection system will also be
combined with Suzuki's Lean Burn Fuel Control system, which
will result in a number of benefits for boaters such as;
easier starts, more responsive acceleration, smoother
performance and above all, greater fuel efficiency.
To achieve this, Suzuki engineers have designed a completely
new fuel injection system for these models, which includes;
an inline high-pressure fuel pump, a throttle body and small
fuel cooler, vapor separator and fuel injector. By designing
these component parts to be smaller than those used on larger
Electronic Fuel Injection engines (DF40-DF300) the overall
weight of these new models has also been kept as low as
possible.
According to Suzuki's internal testing, this means that at
just 44kg the new models will be the lightest and most
compact outboards in their class.
The compact size and light weight of the new DF20A and DF15A
make them an ideal power match for a wide variety of boats,
including; small RIBs and tenders, day boats for in-land
waterways and small fishing boats to name but a few. In
particular these new outboards will be ideal for entry level
boating.
The new Suzuki DF20A and DF15A will be available in the early
summer of 2012.
