Lifeboats 3 A decision that pays off In commercial applications, electric mobility is often not only ecologically superior, but also economically. Due to the substantially lower operating costs, electric propulsion systems often feature lower total cost of ownership and help commercial operations improve financial performance. Will electric save me money? Are your fuel costs higher than €4,700 per year? If they are, it might be worth switching to Deep Blue today.

The GATB consists of 12 tests which measure nine aptitudes: General Learning Ability; Verbal Aptitude; Numerical Aptitude; Spatial Aptitude; Form Perception; Clerical Perception; Motor Coordination; Finger Dexterity; and Manual Dexterity. The aptitude scores are standard scores with 100 as the average for the general working population, and a standard deviation of 20. Occupational norms are established in terms of ninimum qualifying scores for each of the significant aptitude measures which, when combined, predict job performance. Cutting scores are set only for those aptitudes which aid in predicting the performance of the job duties of the experimental sample. The GATB norms described are appropriate only for jobs with content similar to that shown in the job description presented in this report.

  • Suzuki DF150-175 Brochure
    PRODUCT INFORMATION Way of Life! DF150/175 PRODUCT INFORMATION Fresh Ideas, Advanced Technology and Innovative Design Keep Suzuki Ahead of the Competition Unrivaled expertise, world-class technology, innovative ideas and design… That’s an excellent summary of what you can find in Suzuki’s line of four-stroke outboards. At Suzuki, our goal has always been to provide boaters with the power to get the most enjoyment from their boating experience. To that end, we have employed outside-the-box thinking, cutting edge technology, and refined designs to develop a line of four-stroke outboard motors unmatched by the competition. In so doing, Suzuki built the first four-stroke outboard with digital electronic fuel injection; created the first four-stroke outboard with a self-adjusting and maintenance-free timing chain; developed the first use of an offset drive shaft with two-stage mixed cam drive; and designed and built the world’s first 300 horsepower V6 four-stroke outboards. Our commitment to new and better ideas has earned us the respect of the industry and acclaim from satisfied customers. As proof, Suzuki has been awarded four NMMA awards for outboard innovation, not to mention the three “Editors Choice” awards from Motorboating Magazine. Now we are building on this heritage. Our DF150 and DF175 four- stroke outboards are compact, lightweight and provide the benefits of fuel efficiency and low emissions. More importantly, they expand on the potential of four-stroke power for marine applications by delivering powerful acceleration, quick throttle response and exhilarating top-end speed. 2 Big Block – High Performance Engine Suzuki’s DF150 and DF175 are based on an inline four-cylinder DOHC powerhead with a 174.9 cu.in.
