Rolls-Royce with its Power Systems business has set up a new organisational unit ‘Power Lab‘ to focus on innovative and net zero carbon drive and energy solutions.
The Power Lab will concentrate on the development of cutting-edge technologies for the marine and infrastructure sectors, with a strong emphasis on fuel cell systems and the production and deployment of synthetic fuels.
“We’ve made it our mission to leverage the trends we’re seeing in our markets by creating the new drive and energy solutions our customers are looking for which support a climate-neutral future. Therefore, it is essential that the development of our product portfolio is centered on new technologies which enable this future,”
said Andreas Schell, CEO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
“The Power Lab is an important milestone on the path we’re taking.”
Partnerships and technological openness key to winning new markets Rolls-Royce’s new organisational unit is headed by Dr Peter Riegger, who previously led the Research & Technology division; he sees a willingness to embrace new technologies as the key to success.
“Our research engineers now have more technological freedom to develop new ideas and refine them in cooperation with customers and partners.”
In this respect, long term partnerships nurturing the development of technologies and capabilities will play a crucial role in enabling new markets to be captured.
