Bombardier, the world's leading personal watercraft (PWC) manufacturer,
launched its Sea-Doo™
GTX™ DI and Sea-Doo™ RX DI models in 2000. These were
the first personal watercrafts to employ Orbital OCP™ technology,
leading the way to cleaner waterways and better fuel efficiency.
This was followed by further Orbital DI models including a range
of sports boats some of which employed OptiMax™ engines from
Mercury Marine.
Sea-Doo™ engines, when equipped with OCP
technology, operate up to 70% cleaner and provide at least 30% improvement
in fuel efficiency over traditional carburetted 2-strokes. Sea-Doo™
watercrafts include a number of value-added features made possible
by Orbital's smart usage of electronics and software. One example
is the exclusive "Learning Key", a specially encoded lanyard
key which restricts vehicle speed for beginners and other less experienced
riders. Another innovation on the Sea-Doo™ is the detonation
sensor, where Orbital software protects the engine from damage if,
for example, incorrect fuel is used.
The Sea-Doo™ DI range has won several
industry awards including Watercraft World's "Watercraft of
the Year" for 2000.
