BRP-Rotax & PETRONAS rolls out high performance engine for snowmobiles
The engine which rolled out from BRP-Rotax's assembly line in Gunskirchen, Austria on
4 September 2008 marks yet another significant milestone for PETRONAS which has
been involved in the development of engine technology since 1997.

Jointly developed by both parties since November 2005, the 130 horse-power engine
known as Rotax 4-TEC 1200 brings Formula 1 racing and automobile technologies to
the snowmobile world.

The engine, which delivers the best torque in its class, is the first success story coming
from the flourishing technical partnership between BRP-Rotax and PETRONAS
established five years ago.
