Michael Houten's Company Details
Rolls-Royce Power Systems, a division of Rolls-Royce plc., provides pioneering, integrated propulsion and energy solutions. With ‘Net Zero at Power Systems' the company is re-aligning its strategy towards eco-friendly products. The next steps: From 2023 key mtu engine series to be ready for sustainable fuels, from 2025 power generation with CO2-free fuel cells will be offered. To keep drive power permanently available, experts are available to customers 24/7 in three Customer Care Centres (CCCs) worldwide in Singapore, Novi and Friedrichshafen working hand in hand with our Digital Solutions team. With digitalization we are opening up new service offerings as well as new innovative hardware and sources of value creation. Our headquarters are in Friedrichshafen, Germany and we employ over 9,000 people worldwide.Under the mtu brand, we develop and produce high-speed engines and propulsion systems for ships and heavy land, rail and defence vehicles, as well as drive systems for use in the oil and gas industry and in power generation. The aim is to make diesel engines even cleaner and smarter. With our Green and High-Tech programme we provide forward-looking answers to the growing challenges of the mobility and energy transition focusing on electrified drive systems as well as alternative fuels and energy sources such as gas. We also build diesel gensets for emergency, base-load and peak-load power requirements, as well as co-generation plants for combined heat and power based on gas engines. With a view to the energy transition, we rely primarily on microgrids, i.e. autonomous energy supply systems that are efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly. It is essential for all drive systems and energy solutions to keep power permanently available – throughout the entire product life-cycle. To ensure this, the company enters into long-term service agreements (VCA - Value Care Agreements).
