A new range of diesel marine engines known as Hyundai SeasAll is now becoming available throughout the country.Hyundai SeasAll, a network of Hyundai-Kia Motors is a dedicated marine engine developer and manufacturer whose range will be expanded based on the Hyundai’s engine technology.
The first two models of Hyundai SeasAll are an inline four cylinder 2.2 litre and a V6 3.0 litre in the range of 150~250 hp. An electronic engine management and common rail fuel injection system optimises engine power, fuel consumption and reduces emissions dramatically. They are available in stern-drive, shaft drive, with ZF down angle or V-drive gearboxes, or in jet drive configurations. The engines are designed for pleasure, or for the light duty commercial boat owners seeking re-power or building a new craft.
“New Zealand boat owners are looking for quality and cost-effective marine engines – Hyundai SeasAll fits the bill exactly,” says the business development manager of the importer Allpower Industries, Mark Harrison.
“Initially we are launching with two diesel engines, 170hp and 250hp.
“Both feature common-rail injection technology as well as an electronically-controlled variable geometry turbo for increased performance.
“These engines will suit pleasure boat owners with craft anywhere from six meters up to 10 meters depending on the customer’s needs. The engines are available in Stern-drive, shaft or jet ready configurations.
“Best of all, people will be pleasantly surprised with the price tag; despite their highly advanced technology these marine engines will be competitively priced.
Mr Harrison explains all Hyundai SeasAll engines will share the world-leading common-rail diesel technology which has made Hyundai a world leader in road vehicles.
“That’s the base technology from which the Korean research and development engineers have developed these innovative marine engines. Years of work at the power train R&D Centre has adapted Hyundai’s automotive technology for marine use.
“Hyundai SeasAll displayed the latest-generation inline 4 cylinder 2.2-litre and V6 3-litre common-rail engines at the Korea International boat show this year, and attracted big interest from across Asia, the USA and the Pacific Rim.
The engine range will be expanded in time to include engines from 1.6-litre variants to above 12-litre diesels, which will cover a large range of vessels.
Allpower Industries, established for 30 years in Australia and approaching its second anniversary in New Zealand, is now accepting applications from retail dealers aspiring to become Hyundai SeasAll agents.
“Our dealers are integral to the success of the Hyundai SeasAll brand and we are being quite selective as we put together a nationwide network,” says Mr Harrison.
