The red dot design award is awarded by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen, Germany. Since 1955 the red dot awards honour outstanding design quality and trendsetters in the fields of product design, communication design, and design concepts. This year 1,636 companies from 57 countries for a total of 4,252 entries submitted their projects to the jury.
"BRP is the benchmark of the powersports industry when it comes to design, performance, efficiency, and on-board safety features," said Denys Lapointe, executive vice-president, Design and Innovation. "It is exciting to be recognized in the transportation category amongst such a competitive field of entries, many of which come from the automobile industry. This award is further proof that BRP is committed to providing the best possible motorized recreational experience for consumers," he added.

This is the third boating related award for BRP thus far in 2010. In February, at the International Miami boat show in Florida, BRP was the recipient of two safety awards from the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) for its 2010 Sea-Doo RXT-X 260 watercraft and for its Advanced TEC iCatch PWC trailer.
"BRP's Sea-Doo 210 Challenger SE sport boat is a 21-foot tour de force which provides a surface layout similar to that found on most 23-foot models," continued Lapointe.. "It was conceived to enhance the deck experience with an industry-first rear swim platform that quickly converts into deck chairs when extra space is required," he concluded.
