BRP's commitment to developing cleaner engine technologies in 2011.  In addition to the award-acclaimed Rotax 600 H.O. E-TEC engine, this year's Ski-Doo product line-up introduces the all-new Advanced Combustion Efficiency (ACE) 4-stroke engine. This Rotax 600 cc twin cylinder engine sets the industry standard for fuel economy at 29 mi/gal or 8L/100km and has a fuel range of 310 miles (500 km). The most fuel-efficient, performance driven, 600 cc snowmobile engine of the industry will be available in 2011 on six Ski-Doo snowmobile models: the MXZ TNT and Sport, Renegade Sport, Grand Touring Sport, Expedition Sport, Tundra LT and Skandic WT.

"The launch of a more fuel-efficient family of engines - the Rotax ACE engines - brings the industry to a whole new level, opening doors to new markets and attracting newcomers to the sport," stated Yves Leduc, vice president and general manager, North America division.
BRP also expands its revolutionary 2-stroke direct injection E-TEC technology with the Rotax 800R E-TEC engine. This lightweight engine delivers up to 37% better fuel economy (19 mi/gal or 12.3L/100km) and the lowest emissions of competitive models in the same class. The Rotax 800R E-TEC completes BRP's Ski-Doo 800 class offering where the Rotax 800R PowerTEK was already the best in overall performance and efficiency.
