Environmental Commitment

Our Commitment to Environmental Sustainability.

Ilmor has worked diligently to develop and produce a series of emissions-compliant high-performance and recreational marine engines. All of our marine engines are compliant with U.S. EPA, California and European emissions standards. In 2016, Ilmor began production of the GDI engine series, the first production marine gasoline engines to achieve the highest available 5-Star emissions rating from CARB. Additionally many of our marine engines are all compliant with the especially stringent BSO regulations in the Lake Constance (Bodensee) area in Europe. As part of our commitment to emissions excellence and long-term sustainability, Ilmor has partnered with the nonprofit conservation organization American Forests to assist with their global reforestation efforts.

Every time an Ilmor engine is sold, several trees will be planted to offset the carbon footprint of that engine over its expected lifecycle. Ilmor's contributions include over 160,000 trees, split between three projects within our home state. The Abbey Road Old Growth Project is based out of Huron Manistee National Forest in Michigan. This ecosystem was damaged by beetle infestation and root fungus, and American Forests plans to plant white pine and white spruce across 29 acres to restore these important wetlands. Our second partnership project is the West Beech Bark Disease Diversity Plantings, located in Hiawatha National Forest in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
