Briggs & Stratton® will begin rolling out the New E-SERIES™Initiative in 2011 to set a new standard of engine performance across our small vertical shaft engine ranges.

The New E-SERIES Initiative will place reduced exhaust emissions at the heart of all engines performance. Our commitment will be to surpass the European Exhaust Emissions Standards by at least 25%.

The New E-SERIES Initiative is not just about emissions, it is also about an evolution in overall standards that will widen choice and enhance the end user experience. The founding principles of power, reliability and durability remain core to the Briggs

&Stratton value proposition. In addition the New E-SERIES Initiative will ensure that these principles further evolve to include easier starting, improved performance and enhanced customer experience.

Core to the New E-SERIES Initiative will be the introduction of two new engines, the 400E* and 500E-SERIES. These new engines will meet the New E-SERIES standards which will establish a new level of performance in its class.

Between now and the end of 2014 all Briggs & Stratton small vertical shaft engines will perform to the new E-SERIES standards.

THE RIGHT POWER FOR YOUR LAWN

Your lawnmower is only as powerful and durable as the engine that drives it. The 400E and 500E-SERIES engines are ideal to power lawnmowers for gardens up to 600 square meters.

TORQUE

Torque is simply the strength of the turning force the engine delivers to the blade of your lawnmower. The more torque your engine has the easier it is to cut longer, thicker grass. By incorporating the latest engine design technologies the New E-SERIES engines ensure optimal torque and efficiency. Better efficiency means more torque and lower emissions from a smaller engine displacement.
