The OXE Diesel offers the durability, performance and fuel economy of diesel engines along with the advantages of outboards making it a great solution for military and commercial markets. We have supported the U.S. military for many years and we are excited to bring them this innovative product.” said Scott DuBrow, Director of Sales & Marketing, Mack Boring & Parts Co.

The support provided by our U.S. distributor, Mack Boring & Parts, during the test and validation period with the USCG has been instrumental and would like to thank them for their efforts and patience. I have no doubts this will the first of many orders and we look forward to servicing the U.S. government – they are potentially by far the largest consumer in the global governmental market for the power range of our product,” said Myron Mahendra, CEO OXE Marine AB.
