Drive and propulsion specialist. The MTU brand worldwide stands for efficient and clean diesel engines and complete drive and propulsion systems for ships, heavy land, rail and defence vehicles, heat and power generation, and for the oil and gas industry. With over 100 years’ experience, MTU is a trustworthy partner when it comes to providing the best possible solution for the most diverse applications. As a general contractor, MTU’s product portfolio extends from high-quality standard systems to customer-specific turnkey plants, and includes a full range of services. What is decisive for the leading technological position MTU products have acquired is the interplay of key technologies – turbocharging, fuel injection, engine management and exhaust aftertreat-ment. MTU develops these technologies in-house and is thus in a position to ensure that all drive and propulsion com- ponents are ideally matched for optimum performance.
Marine
MTU propulsion systems are in service on the high seas, on rivers and lakes all over the world. They are used for both the main propulsion and auxiliary systems or as engines in gensets for on-board power supply. Highly efficient ship‘s automation sys-tems ensure that components operate in complete harmony.
Oil & Gas
For more than 30 years now, MTU has supplied the needs of the oil and gas industry. The range of products it has avail-able includes diesel engines and gensets for onshore and offshore operations. They are used to deliver emergency power, for example, operate fire-fighting equipment, and to provide the power for pumps, mixers, pumps and winches.
We supply complete drive and propulsion systems to ensure that our customers are well equipped to handle any situation.

C & I & Agriculture In the C & I industry, in agricultural and forestry applications, engines are pushed to the limit. Moving for-ward on a solid surface is no great challenge, but when the going gets tough off the highway on rural, MTU drives keep things moving – in road construction equipment, mobile cranes and other special-purpose vehicles such as snowcats.
Mining
Mining has its own laws and dimensions, huge stretches of land, enor-mous quantities, ex-treme temperatures, immense challenges and the unimaginable power required to get the job done. To survive in this harsh environment means being strong, hard and tough, with lots of stamina – just like MTU engines.
Rail
On non-electrified lines, MTU diesel en-gines, underfloor and complete drive systems are the preferred choice for locomotives, multi-ple units and rail cars. As a result of their com-pact dimensions and the excellent power-to-weight ratio, they are also ideally suited for repowering projects. Our hybrid systems are designed today to power tomorrow‘s trains.
Defence
In no other field is the safety of the equipment and its crew as directly dependent on the reli-ability of the perfor-mance of the drive sys-tem as in defence appli-cations. With its drive systems for wheeled and tracked armoured vehicles, MTU has accepted considerable responsibility in this field for many years now.

We address today the energy issues of tomorrow – with innovative distributed energy solutions.
Distributed energy systems
Energy that meets the need. MTU Onsite Energy systems ensure that a reliable supply of energy is made available regardless of the existing infrastructure – whenever and wherever it is needed. The power generation systems based on diesel and gas engines deliver base load, emergency standby and peak load power from traditional power gene- ration to trigeneration. In addition to natural gas, they also operate on renewable energy sources such as biogas, sewage gas and landfill gas. With over 60 years’ experience in the marketing of power supply systems, MTU Onsite Energy is making a major contribution to solving tomorrow’s energy issues.
Emergency power
Storms or operational failures can result in the sudden failure of the local power grid. Emergency power sys-tems based on MTU diesel engines supply small units, such as hospitals, computer centres and banks with electricity, but they also supply power to airports and power plants. The portfolio also includes container gensets for mobile use. They provide the required output in less than 15 seconds after switch-on.
Peak power During periods of peak demand, there is a short-term need for more electricity. In such extreme situations, distributed system so-lutions based on diesel and gas drive systems provide the power needed to ensure that sufficient electricity is readily available. In addition to the extremely accurate gen-set control system, there are tailor-made control components available that provide the operator with a high degree of reliability, precision and user-friendly operation.
Base load
The supply of base load power requires a high degree of reliabili-ty and efficiency. MTU Onsite Energy distrib- uted energy systems are designed to precisely comply with these re-quirements. Power generators based on MTU diesel engines operate around the clock all over the world and guarantee a distributed supply of energy also to remote locations – for example in mineral mines in the desert.

For a wide range of applications, we offer tailor-made propulsion and energy systems based on our proven technologies.
Medium-speed engines
Long tradition. We offer Rolls-Royce medium-speed liquid fuel and gas engines and generating sets for applications in marine in the power range 1,400 to 9,380 kW per engine, and for power generation in the power range 3,780 to 9,380 kWe. The medium-speed engines are characterized by high avail-ability and low operating costs, and meet the toughest en- vironmental requirements both today and in future.
Rolls-Royce has more than 70 years of experience in developing and producing medium-speed reciprocating engines. The first diesel engine was installed in a fishing vessel in 1946, and in 1950 we expanded the business to power generation. In the 1980s, Rolls-Royce began the development of gas engines, and is today a world leading gas engine performer.
Marine | Liquid fuel & Gas
The Rolls-Royce medium- speed engines and ge-nerating sets are used for seagoing commer-cial and naval vessels like cargo ships, tankers, tug boats and supply vessels operating for the offshore oil industry, in addition to fishing vessels, cruise ships, ferries, yachts and rigs. We supply engines for mecha-nical propulsion and as complete generating sets to provide electric propulsion and generate onboard power, tailored to our customer’s needs.
Rolls-Royce is a pioneer in the development of modern lean-burn engines and is a leader in propulsion systems based on liquefied natural gas (LNG). Our medium-speed engines are regarded as the cleanest and most efficient reciprocating engines available in the market today.
Energy | Liquid fuel & Gas
Rolls-Royce meets the demand for reliable supply of heat and power around the globe – our medium-speed engines are used to generate power in large power plants, to be fed into the local power grid or supply power for industrial pro-cesses. In combined heat and power plants, the Rolls-Royce engines convert as much as 95 per cent of the fuel into useful energy and thus achieve the highest efficiency levels.
Among our power generation customers are Utilities, Indepen-dent Power Producers, Oil & Gas installations and Greenhouses. Applying the lean-burn concept in these fields results in high-efficiency levels with low pollutant emissions and fuel consumption.All about our medium-speed engines from Rolls-Royce

Our injection systems for large engines comply with the requirements for maximum precision and quality.
Injection systems
10 11
Fuel injection specialist. L’Orange has been one of the pioneers of advanced fuel injection technologies for over 80 years. Its portfolio is supplemented by exhaust gas after-treatment and turbocharging technologies. This means that key core components for large diesel engines supplied by well-known manufacturers that operate with different types of fuel will be available in future from a single source.
Always one step ahead.
Engine manufacturers are faced with the challenge of constantly having to meet exhaust emission regulations that are becoming in-creasingly more strin-gent. At the same time, they are expected to optimise the performance, fuel con-sumption and service life of drive systems. This means that high-precision injection systems are a key factor. We supply our products to all the well-known manufacturers of large diesel and heavy oil engines for off-highway applications. And they know why.
Key technologies L’Orange was the first manufacturer in the world to market for-ward-looking common-rail injection systems, one of the key techno-logies used today in the engines manufactured by MTU and Bergen Engines AS. With common-rail fuel injec-tion, the combustion process can be optimised to achieve low pollutant levels combined with lower fuel consumption. The fuel can be injected with micro second accuracy and at high pressure – regardless of the engine operating point.
Maximum precision
One thing the largest four-stroke marine die-sel engines, the biggest dump trucks and the world’s fastest diesel locomotives have in common – they all in-corporate innovative high-pressure injection technology from L’Orange. As big as the engines and vehicles are, the tolerances with which the injection systems are designed and manufactured remain small. High-precision manufacturing processes with tol-erances of less than a thousandth of a millimetre and quality control procedures are fundamental to the high level of performance and efficiency of L’Orange injection technology.

Experience. The group can look back on 100 years of success and a long tradition of developing new drive and propulsion systems that optimally meet the customers’ needs. Over the years, it has produced a large number of innovations that con-tinue to write engineering history. Firmly rooted in tradition, Rolls-Royce Power Systems has developed into what it is today – one of the leaders of innovation in many different high- technology markets. In order to consolidate the position it has achieved even further, the group continues to develop its products, while optimising its resources, and manufactures core components in-house. This ensures that we always deliver the highest standards of quality.
Business success. The activities of Rolls-Royce Power Systems are geared to long-term, profitable growth. We act in a forward- looking and sustainable manner by taking into account challenges such as the megatrends of an increasing global population and urbanisation, the growing demand for energy, climate change and globalisation. The company’s development builds on ecological and social values, to which our owners, employees and business partners are committed.
Product responsibility. Our products set standards for dura-bility, energy efficiency, low fuel consumption and emissions – product features from which the environment and custo-mers alike benefit. Our high-tech marine diesel engines are used to power small and large yachts, high-speed ferries and government vessels reliably and efficiently and set standards in terms of their power-to-weight ratio and dynamic behaviour. Our emergency gensets guarantee the reliable and trouble-free operation of critical facilities and we supply energy- efficient gensets for the supply of continuous power in remote regions. In the mining sector, our diesel engines are used to power mining trucks and in the rail sector fast pas-senger trains and heavy freight locomotives. L’Orange has produced over a million common-rail injectors to date and in doing so has set technological standards worldwide. Sustain-ability for us does not end with the sale of our products. Service and remanufacturing extend their life cycles. This is of benefit to the customer and to the environment, because this means that raw materials and energy are used efficiently. Our parent company Rolls-Royce also invests over £1.2 billion annually in innovation and technology in order to meet the customers’ current and future needs.
Green and High-Tech Programme. At the heart of the Green and High-Tech Programme launched by Rolls-Royce Power Systems is the development of new technologies – as the basis for extremely sustainable and environmentally friendly pro-ducts of the future. The demands placed on propulsion and energy systems in terms of their efficiency and exhaust gas emissions will continue to increase. We are responding to this challenge by continually developing and optimising our engines and exhaust gas aftertreatment systems in order to provide our customers with advanced propulsion solutions.
We are working on the development of alternative propulsion technologies. Rolls-Royce Power Systems is currently developing a mobile gas engine to be marketed under the MTU brand, for example, which will be used for maritime applications as of 2018. MTU offers a hybrid system for rail cars as another future technology. Environmentally-friendly gas engines from MTU Onsite Energy driven by natural gas, biogas, sewage gas or landfill gas are used for the generation of electric power alone or for the cogeneration of heat and power. Digitisation is making products more intelligent and ultimately means that systems are now designed to deliver resource-friendly opera-tion. An optimally designed total system is more than the sum of its parts, and this applies in particular to the increasingly more complex propulsion and energy systems. For this reason, total system capability is a key focus of the Green and High-Tech Programme.
Series 4000 gas engines
In 2018 MTU will deliver the first certified MTU gas engines for commercial marine applications. The new Series 4000 gas engine has already successfully completed 3,000 hours on the develop-ment test bench.
Hybrid PowerPack
The Hybrid PowerPack combines a diesel engine with an electric machine, which can be used either as an electric motor or genera-tor, and the MTU EnergyPack battery system, which stores the energy recovered during braking.
