Rolls-Royce (RR) will be presenting its mtu technologies for sustainable propulsion, energy supply, automation and service at the Euronaval marine trade fair in Paris from 18 to 21 October under the motto "Pioneering the journey to Net Zero". The focus will be on particularly clean and efficient mtu diesel engines that are also suitable for use with sustainable fuels, innovative digital service solutions and future technologies that the company is currently developing, initially for use in civil and commercial shipping. These include hybrid, methanol and fuel cell systems.
Climate-friendly energy and drive solutions
RR Power Systems is evolving from an engine manufacturer to a provider of integrated sustainable solutions from the bridge to the propeller. The division is a pioneer in the development of methanol engines and already has hybrid propulsion systems for shipping in its portfolio. Fuel cell solutions are soon to follow as another climate-friendly power and propulsion solution. Next year, the mtu Series 2000 and 4000 marine engines will be approved for sustainable fuels. This will enable CO2 emissions from existing diesel engines to be reduced by up to 90 per cent compared to the use of fossil diesel without any changes to the infrastructure. The future versions of the proven mtu Series 1163 and 8000 large marine engines recently presented at SMM, which will fulfil the IMO Tier III emissions directive, are also to be approved for use with sustainable fuels.

Augmented Reality
RR Power Systems' solution provider strategy also includes the innovative augmented reality (AR) technology that the company is presenting at Euronaval. It is a response to the challenge for many navies of having to keep ever more complex propulsion systems running with fewer personnel during ever longer deployments. The mtu AR technology acts as a kind of digital assistant: it uses a combination of text, animations and videos to present the functionality of propulsion and energy systems in a very clear and easy-to-understand way and can help with maintenance and repair work, among other things. To do this, the AR system projects information onto the real hardware and shows directly on the motor, for example, which steps need to be carried out, how and with which parts and tools. In addition, the AR system can also show where components are located, for example sensors that have triggered an error message, and guide the user there. The mtu AR technology can be used either via glasses or a mobile device (tablet or smartphone). It provides an improved understanding of how systems work, simplifies maintenance, enables self-help even without many years of crew experience and increases safety on board. This new development from RR thus makes a further contribution to ensuring that navies can fulfil their mission reliably and successfully.
