We report the discovery of a new Class 0 protostellar source associated with the IRAS source 23011+6126 in the Cep E molecular cloud. Observations in the ¹²CO(2-1) and the SiO(3-2) lines show evidence for a very young outflow (∼3x10³yr) emanating from the IRAS source. Extreme high-velocity wings are observed in the ¹²CO(2-1) line: they reach out to -125km/s and +80km/s relative to the ambient gas in the blue and red-shifted lobes respectively. Millimetre continuum observations at 1.25mm reveal a strongly peaked source surrounded by a massive envelope of 18M_☉ with a luminosity of ∼100L_☉. Comparison of the millimetre emission with H₂ data suggests that the outflow is in the course of sweeping up the parental envelope.
