MAN ES and Rolls-Royce sign turbocharger cooperation agreement

“The mtu brand is characterized above all by its in-depth know-how in high-speed applications. Thanks to this product expansion, we are now able to offer our customers exactly the right turbocharger for their high-, medium- and low-speed applications under one roof via the PBST brand,” says Dr. Uwe Lauber, CEO of MAN Energy Solutions.

The mtu turbochargers are offered on the basis of a modular system for engines in the 400 to 2,500 kilowatt power ranges in single- and two-stage versions. Apart from marine applications, Rolls-Royce designs them to meet the requirements of applications such as rail, construction, heavy land vehicles and power supply.

“With this cooperation, we are combining our competencies − on the one hand, PBST’s global sales structure for turbochargers and, on the other hand, Rolls-Royce’s latest high-efficiency mtu turbocharger technology for high-speed diesel and gas engines,” explains Andreas Schell, CEO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems.

“Advanced turbocharging helps engines achieve low fuel consumption and high power over a wide speed range. It is an important building block for meeting increasingly stringent emission requirements in the future – without compromising engine performance or efficiency,” explains Dr. Otto Preiss, Chief Technology Officer and COO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems.

“With the aim of offering new propulsion and energy solutions for a climate-neutral future, we are also currently working on electrically assisted turbochargers for greater agility and lower fuel consumption, as well as on turbocharger concepts for fuel cells,” Preiss concluded.
