BRP’s ECO mode is the newest function of the intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) system on select Sea-Doo watercraft and boats. BRP’s fuel-efficient ECO mode has been engineered to provide boating families the best value for their recreational budgets by maximizing their fun per- gallon (litre). It is one of many new, customizable power delivery modes featured on the Sea-Doo 210 Challenger boat that gives the captain more control than ever before. ECO mode is one of the many new technologies BRP is developing for our customers to be as environmentally responsible during recreational activities as in everyday life,” stated Yves Leduc, vice-president and general manager, North America division. “We want to ensure our marine products keep pace with other forms of transportation. BRP is committed to be a leader in that regard by spreading ECO mode to four Sea-Doo watercraft models and eight Sea-Doo boat models in 2011. It is an honour to be recognized for this new technology as the real winners are our customers and the environment. BRP’s iTC system is a fly-by-wire throttle system that allows the captain to electronically control how power is delivered through various modes. In addition to ECO mode, select Sea-Doo boats and watercraft come equipped with docking mode, that limits power delivery to a maximum of 3,500 rpm (8,000 rpm is the normal maximum), ski mode (offering preset ramp up and speed control), cruise control and slow speed mode.
