Mercury Marine named CES 2022 Innovation Award honouree
Mercury Marine has been named a 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovation Award honouree in the Vehicle & Transportation category for the V12 600hp Verado outboard engine.
This is the second consecutive CES Innovation Award for Mercury. In 2021, Mercury’s 1st Mate Marine System technology won in two categories, earning the Best of Innovation designation in the in-vehicle entertainment & safety category and the CES Innovation Award honour in the Vehicle Intelligence & Transportation category.
Launched in February 2021, the V12 Verado 600hp outboard is said to deliver exceptional fuel economy and range, and has reduced carbon dioxide emissions through the combination of features including, integrated automatic transmission; dual, advanced, contra-rotating propellers; Mercury’s Advanced Range Optimisation (ARO) lean burn strategy; and closed-loop fuel control.
“It is an incredible honour for Mercury Marine to win another CES Innovation Award, one of the premier innovation awards in the world,” says Chris Drees, Mercury Marine president. “We are looking forward to showcasing two of these award-winning engines in the Brunswick exhibit at CES 2022, giving attendees from around the world the opportunity to witness what many are calling the most innovative engine in the marine industry and the most powerful outboard we have ever built.”
The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, is an annual competition honouring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products across 28 product categories. The judging panel of industry experts includes members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetic, and design.
