According to a press launch, Rolls-Royce has launched new propulsion ideas for future navy autos, specializing in hybrid expertise and enhanced energy output.
The firm’s Power Systems division is increasing its mtu engine programme to incorporate a hybrid powerpack and a 10-cylinder, 1,100 kW variant of the mtu Series 199, designed for tanks weighing as much as 70 tons.
These improvements will debut on the Eurosatory defence commerce truthful in Paris from 17 to 21 June.
Dr Jörg Stratmann, CEO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems, highlighted the corporate’s dedication to its partnership with NATO international locations and their allies.
“This underlines the importance we attach to our partnership with NATO countries and their allies in safeguarding their security interests. Because cooperation with the security authorities is one of Rolls-Royce’s strategic initiatives, we will continue to be a reliable partner as a supplier of propulsion systems for military vehicles with our decades of technological expertise,” he stated.
The new hybrid idea presents important tactical benefits, say the agency, by combining the strengths of a high-performance diesel engine with a battery-electric drive.
Knut Müller, Senior Vice President Global Governmental Business at Rolls-Royce Power Systems, famous the significance of those developments:
“Future armoured military land vehicles will require more power for propulsion and on-board power supply for the electronic systems. At the same time, they will be designed for a different tactical approach in the field. Our future mtu propulsion solutions for this application take both of these requirements into account.”
Rolls-Royce’s hybrid drive integrates a personalized silencer with the propulsion system, minimising noise and enhancing stealth, they add.
