Yanmar exhibits Scania engine for the first time

The first result of the co-operation between Scania 
Industrial and Marine Engines and Yanmar marine is 
shown for the first time at the Düsseldorf boat show 
in Germany. On display is a 12-litre marine engine for 
pleasure boats with 720 hp.

In October 2002, Scania and Yanmar signed an agreement 
that gives Yanmar the right to sell and market Scania 
marine engines to the pleasure boat market all over 
the world.

The première for Yanmar’s marketing of Scania engines 
is at the pleasure boat show Boot 2003 in Düsseldorf, 
Germany. On display is a 720-hp engine in Yanmar’s 
white livery and with the Yanmar logotype, based on 
the Scania 12-litre unit.

“Scania’s objective with the co-operation is to 
increase the volumes of engines for pleasure boats in 
a few years’ time,” says Lennart Hjelte, Senior Vice 
President and responsible for Scania Industrial and 
Marine Engines. ”The co-operation also means that we 
can concentrate on the marketing of engines for marine 
commercial applications, but still have a presence in 
the pleasure boat market.”


In due course, Yanmar will sell marine engines based 
on all sizes of Scania engines. The first deliveries 
are expected in the second half of 2003.
