Exhaust Emissions
•Reduction of Average HC, NOx Emissions* (FY1996=100%)
* Average emissions worldwide
We were able to achieve an approximate 30% reduction in average HC and NOx emissions levels in FY2002. In FY2007, we further improved our performance, realizing an approximate 39% reduction in HC and NOx emissions.

Emissions Performance Improvements in Major Models
The Punch X Compact Tiller
•The Punch X Compact Tiller
The Punch X compact tiller is an easy-to-use device that helps people get things done quicker. It features a lever that allows the operator to easily select two forward gears and and a reverse gear, as well as a clutch lever that engages the gears when the lever is squeezed and disengages automatically when the lever is released. Further, thanks to the L-shape design tiller teeth, the Punch X churns through hard or clayey ground with ease. The light, compact 4-stroke OHV engine is positioned to give the tiller a low center of gravity for stable, easy-to-maneuver operation. The Punch X even complies with the tough standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Phase II regulations and California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier II regulations.
BF90/BF75
•BF90/BF75 Marine Outboards
The new BF90 and BF75 marine outboards achieve clean exhaust performance that exceeds CARB emissions regulations for 2008—the most stringent emissions standards in the world—as well as complying with EPA regulations for 2006 and Japan-market voluntary standards.
