Bombardier Recreation Products (BRP) has signed an agreement with Japan-based Tohatsu Corporation to supply a range of Evinrude outboard engines from 3.5 to 15 horsepower. The new engines will be available at BRP dealerships in early 2012, adding to BRP's existing line-up of Evinrude E-TEC outboard engines of 15 to 300 hp.
"We believe Tohatsu Corporation, which builds quality and market-proven engines, to be the right supplier to complete the Evinrude lineup," said BRP president and CEO José Boisjoli. "BRP's focus remains on the development and manufacturing of high-value and higher horsepower engines, using the E-TEC technology that we will continue to enhance with industry-leading features and benefits over the years to come."
