First BRP Half-Marathon: Open to the Public

VALCOURT, QUEBEC – April 11, 2013 – (Motor Sports Newswire) -  The first BRP half-marathon will take place through the streets of Valcourt on Sunday, May 5. Josée Fontaine and Julie Morel, both seasoned runners and BRP employees, put together this initiative to encourage physical activity and healthy eating.

Although the two organizers have already reached their goal of over 500 registrations among BRP employees and their families and friends, they decided to extend registration to people in the area, giving everyone a chance to take part in this first BRP half-marathon. More than 50 students from the Odyssée de Valcourt high school have been training for weeks to participate in the event.

People who want to participate have several options. A 1-kilometre route was designed for children, and 5-, 10- and 21-kilometre routes for adults. To encourage participation, the 5 km route can be walked. Anyone interested in taking part should register soon as the activity is limited to 700 participants.

“BRP values the health and well-being of its employees and of the communities in which we work,” said Gerd Ohrnberger, vice-president and general manager of the Product Engineering and Manufacturing Operations (PEMO) division and honorary president of the half-marathon. “Similar events are being held in cities where our pool of employees is large enough, such as in Austria, in the United States, in Mexico and in Finland.”

For details on the half-marathon, including the routes, registration fees and online registration, visit the website www.demimarathonbrp.com. This kind of event requires the assistance of many volunteers. Interested persons should get in touch with the organizers, whose contact information is available on the website.

BRP Sweeps 4×4 Quad Podium with Can-Am ATV’s in Dakar 2013

SANTIAGP, CHILE – January 25, 2013 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – BRP’s Can-Am ATVs swept the 4×4 podium in the 2013 DAKAR rally, the annual off-road endurance race covering 8,500 kilometers in South America.

Poised with their Can-Am Renegade X Xc vehicles, the triumphant Latin American pilots became figures of national pride as they shared the first, second and third places on the 4×4 podium during the awards ceremony in front of the La Moneda Palace in Santiago, Chile. Team rider Sebastián Palma won the title of the 4×4 class, placing fifth in the overall quad category. Palma took the race by storm, securing first place in the race’s seventh stage, known as one of the most challenging due to torrential rains.

“It is great pride, as a Chilean, to arrive in Santiago celebrating our performance in the Dakar,” said Sebastián Palma. “Even more so after wining the title in my class and having won a stage among all the quads.”

In total, BRP-sponsored pilots participated aboard thirteen vehicles: nine Can-Am Renegade 800 Xxc quads and four Can-Am Commander 1000 side-by-side vehicles. The so-called “yellow-blooded” racers, a nickname honouring BRP’s legendary colour, came from all over South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia) to take on one of the most challenging races known to mankind, and make history in the process.

The UTV category proved to be among the most challenging categories. BRP’s Can-Am side-by-side fleet was the only one to boast one hundred percent completion of the DAKAR. This extraordinary achievement was a nod to BRP’s dedication to innovation, performance and handling.

Of special note is Colombian competitor Martha Mariño, who was the first woman to ever race in the UTV segment for the DAKAR. She and partner Carlos Bustamante, also Colombian, placed sixth in the UTV category.

BRP Selects Querétaro Mexico to Build New Manufacturing Facility

Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro – October 2, 2012 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – BRP is building a new manufacturing facility in Querétaro to produce engines for its Can-Am off-road vehicles, manufacture composite hulls and decks, and eventually assemble Sea-Doo watercraft (PWC).

The 55,740-m² (600,000-ft²) facility located in Querétaro’s industrial park will be built in three phases over a period of four years. The first phase is to assemble the Rotax engines that are currently being assembled in BRP’s facility in Ciudad Juárez – freeing up much-needed space to increase production capacity for ATVs and side-by-side vehicles. This phase, representing an investment of 395 million Mexican pesos (CA$30 million), will create 300 jobs and will be completed by the end of the year.

“Querétaro was the ideal choice for BRP given its proximity to Mexico City, its modern transportation infrastructure and its strong talent pool,” said Thomas Wieners, plant director. “Over and above direct job creation, this opens up great opportunities to local suppliers as well.”

Starting in spring 2013, BRP will put in place its new composite manufacturing process for PWC hulls and decks, and will gradually transfer its PWC assembly to Querétaro from 2014 to 2015 to provide more capacity in its Canadian plant.

“We are very excited with BRP’s investment, a world leader in the powersports industry and a manufacturer of products built in Mexico and sold in over 100 countries,” said José Calzada Rovirosa, state governor. “Reputed for its capacity to innovate, BRP now opens new opportunities for our Querétaro labour force for many years to come.”

Present in Mexico since 2001, BRP built a 38,000-m² (410,000-ft²) facility in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua in 2007, which now employs over 1,500 people.

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP), a privately held company, is a world leader in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing of motorised recreational vehicles. Its portfolio of brands and products includes: Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Sea‑Doo watercraft, Evinrude and Johnsonoutboard engines, Can-Am all‑terrain and side-by-side vehicles and roadsters, as well as Rotax engines.
