mtu is to supply mtu Series 4000 diesel generator sets to BAE Systems as part of the Power Improvement Project (PIP) to increase the resilience of the power and propulsion system in all six Type 45 destroyers. The two existing diesel gensets are to be replaced by three mtu gensets per vessel. The three mtu gensets will complement two existing Rolls-Royce WR21 gas turbines also supplying power to the electric propulsion system.

mtu Series 4000 engines are high-performance engines that are in service with many navies worldwide as main propulsion and on-board power generation solution.

Knut Müller, Head of mtu’s Marine & Government Business, said: “We are delighted to have convinced our partners BAE Systems and the Royal Navy once again of the outstanding merits of our Series 4000 gensets and engines. I am convinced the Royal Navy will benefit from this long-term – also thanks to the simplified logistics when it comes to maintaining our engines.”

Jon Pearson, Warship Support Director, BAE Systems, said: “PIP is set to deliver a significant improvement in the performance and reliability of the Type 45 destroyers. It will be carried out by Cammell Laird and BMT, led by BAE Systems and relying on the excellence of our supply chain partners such as mtu and Rolls-Royce to deliver a high quality, timely and cost effective solution for the Royal Navy.”
