OXE300 is the latest outboard in the OXE Diesel series. Born from a demand for even more power, torque and range, the OXE300 does not compromise on either reliability or control. With a bi-turbo diesel engine from BMW, 680Nm of crankshaft torque is provided already at 1750rmp. Already at 1000rpm, the engine provides over 500Nm at the crankshaft. At the propeller shaft, the torque numbers translate to 945Nm (696ft-lb). This means that you, at your fingertips, have not only massive bollard pull power, but also fast hole shot acceleration. OXE Diesel outboards are built for demanding users, for those who require high durability and serviceability, while also providing maximal range and massive torque.

Battery production – the choke point for electric boating?
Market for both electric and hybrid boats to reach US$20b in the next five years
With major outboard manufacturers venturing into electric power and a number of independent companies working on both outboard and inboard electric power, it appears there is no slowing of the move toward battery-powered boating. Except, that is, for the availability of batteries, which industry experts expect to be the choke point.
With companies like ePropulsion reporting record sales and General Motors taking a US$150m stake in Pure Watercraft, some experts predict that the market for both true electric and hybrid electric boats will reach US$20b in the next five years.

OXE sets eyes firmly on recreational market with diesel outboard
When OXE Marine, the Swedish builder of diesel outboards was founded in 2012 its goal was fairly simple, in principle; build a durable, safe and reliable high-performance diesel outboard largely for commercial and military applications. What no one foresaw was expanding the product into the recreational boating arena.
But with the introduction of its 300hp model in May of 2020 – that uses a marinised bi-turbo automotive configuration powerhead from BMW -and impressive performance statistics that include 46% less fuel consumption than comparable gas models at a similar weight and extending the operational range by nearly 90%, a new and unexpected market emerged, driven by consumers.

Ford Weighs Big Changes to Electric Vehicles
As the world rushes to embrace electric vehicle technology, Ford became one of the first conventional automakers to match — if not outright exceed — the standard for EVs set by Tesla.
Now, Ford evidently also wants to catch up to its EV rival on Wall Street.
Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reports that Ford CEO Jim Farley is evaluating ways to separate its growing electric vehicle operations from its conventional internal-combustion engine vehicles — potentially including spinning one of them off into an entirely new company.
