Caudwell Marine announce technical partnership with ZF
[Stratford-Upon-Avon, 10/01/2023] – Caudwell Marine, a pioneering force in the marine industry, is thrilled to announce a technical partnership with ZF, a global technology company and supplier of systems for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, marine and industrial technology. The technical partnership sees ZF supporting Caudwell Marine in enhancing the performance and capabilities of their 300hp turbo-charged V6 diesel outboard.
With a legacy of innovation in the marine industry spanning over a century and millions of hours per year being run on transmissions in the field, ZF brings unparalleled global engineering prowess to Caudwell Marine’s supply chain.
As part of the technical partnership, ZF has developed a highly sophisticated twin-clutch transmission system that seamlessly integrates with Caudwell Marine’s purpose-built turbo-charged V6 diesel powerhead and groundbreaking Axis-Drive steering system with Dual Propellers.
The agreement extends even further with active involvement in the assembly of Caudwell Marine’s lower unit. Whilst the lower unit is Caudwell’s own design, with related IP, the connection leverages ZF’s vast experience in precision manufacturing.
ZF has played an important role in helping ensure Caudwell Marine’s Turbo-Charged V6 Diesel Outboard Engine delivers exceptional performance and durability even in the most demanding marine environments.
“We have been thrilled to embark on this technical partnership with ZF. Initial design and development discussions started some years ago and our relationship has grown and grown as we now reach the point of series product units,” said Peter Ordway, Commercial Director at Caudwell Marine. “ZF’s expertise and track record in engineering excellence perfectly complement our vision to bring new technology solutions to the marine industry. Together with ZF, we are very confident that we will deliver a product that exceeds the expectations of marine professionals and commercial operators alike.”
Both Caudwell Marine and ZF are known for their commitment to innovation, quality, and performance. This collaboration represents a synergistic merging of their strengths, creating a platform for advancements that will help shape the future of marine propulsion.
