We are continuing to enable the transition to lower-carbon power by testing our mtu diesel engines at our German production sites with renewable diesel hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) The HVO derived from vegetable oils and waste materials is now supporting our test benches in Friedrichshafen, Augsburg and Ruhstorf in Germany, saving around 3,200 tonnes of CO2 already. Our mtu solutions Series 4000 engines will go on to power ships, trains, data centres and other energy systems, with many of our customers already successfully operating with HVO.

Our MT30 engines will power Australia’s new upgraded Mogami-class frigates. Australia selected Japan’s upgraded Mogami-class frigates last year, which our MT30 marine gas turbine engines already power. The new frigates will help to enhance the Australian Navy’s undersea warfare and air defence capabilities, with the first due to be delivered in 2029 and operational by 2030, with power from our engines. We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with Australia, having delivered power and propulsion to Australia for land, sea and air for over 100 years.

Powering the future of U.S. Army aviation. The MV-75 Cheyenne II represents a step-change in speed, range and mission capability, enabling U.S. forces to operate further and faster in increasingly complex environments. At the heart of that capability is the AE 1107 engine, combining combat-proven performance with advanced, modern technology to deliver the power, reliability and survivability required for next-generation missions. In our latest Q&A, program executive Scott Ames shares how the AE 1107 builds on decades of operational experience and why it’s the right powerplant for the MV-75 Cheyenne II.

Congratulations to Rolls-Royce SMR on signing a landmark deal with Great British Energy - Nuclear, paving the way for the design and delivery of the first Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in the UK. This marks an important step in Rolls-Royce SMR’s journey towards creating high-skilled jobs, boosting the supply chain, improving the UK’s energy security and generating economic growth for the nation. The contract brings certainty to the UK SMR programme and differentiates Rolls-Royce SMR as the only company with multiple commitments in Europe, with an initial three units at the Wylfa site on Ynys Môn (Anglesey) in North Wales and up to six units in Czechia.
We are delighted to have signed our landmark contract with Great British Energy - Nuclear allowing work to start immediately on the delivery of three Rolls-Royce SMRs at Wylfa, on the coast of Ynys Môn (Anglesey) in North Wales. This provides contractual certainty for the first SMR fleet to be built in Europe and launches the UK’s ‘golden age of nuclear’. Chris Cholerton, Rolls-Royce SMR Chief Executive, said: “This contract unlocks the delivery of our first three units at Wylfa and is a tangible example of the Government’s ‘golden age’ of new nuclear being delivered successfully with British technology. “This brings certainty to the UK SMR programme and differentiates our business as the only SMR company with multiple commitments in Europe - an initial three units at Wylfa and up to six units in Czechia. “We are transforming the way nuclear projects are delivered, to give greater cost and schedule certainty with a standardised, factory-built approach. This project is important to the UK’s energy security and will power up our business and the UK supply chain. This is a tremendous opportunity which will bring clean, secure energy for the UK, unlock exports and strengthen the UK supply chain.” #SMR #RollsRoyceSMR #Nuclear #Wylfa
