"For the new design of mtu's yacht bridge components, we applied our unique design vision and iconic line to reflect the engine's power and performance fascination in every detail" , says Paolo Pininfarina, Chairman of Pininfarina S.p.A. "The control lever, inspired by the conrod of a powerful mtu yacht engine, is the design focus. Displays, operating consoles and instruments speak the same design language, resulting in a uniform, elegant look yacht owners will appreciate." "Dem neuen Design der mtu-Brückenkomponenten für Yachten liegt unsere einzigartige Designvision und berühmte Formsprache zugrunde, sodass in jedem Detail die Kraft und Leistungsstärke des Motors erfahrbar wird", so Paolo Pininfarina, Vorsitzender von Pininfarina S.p.A.

La leva di comando, che richiama la forma della biella di un potente motore marino mtu, è il punto focale del progetto.

The new bridge components will be on the market from spring 2016.   mtu will also have a model of the advanced-design Series 2000 engine on show, which also incorporates a ZF gearbox. The mtu brand is part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems within the Land & Sea division of Rolls-Royce.

In the Series 2000 M96, mtu has its latest yacht engine technology on show. This power unit follows on from a long tradition of reliable and efficient high-performance yacht engines from mtu. The new design is distinguished by improved acceleration capabilities and economical fuel consumption, and meets the EPA Tier 3 exhaust emission standard for leisure craft. It is available as a 12-cylinder or 16-cylinder version with power ratings from 1,268 to 1,939 kW. "Since the market launch in 2014, we have already supplied more than 200 engines to clients. And the new engine is now in use in numerous yachts in Europe and the USA," relates Nadine Buhmann, Head of Marine and Offshore Business at mtu.

With an entirely new design concept for control lever, digital touch displays, control panels and analogue display instruments featuring unified and distinctive styling, mtu has responded to the increasingly exacting aspirations of yacht buyers. The components have been redesigned in collaboration with top Italian designer Pininfarina. The new bridge components will be available to shipbuilders for use in standard production models from spring 2016, enabling them to retain a modular system while also offering clients a stylish control-stand concept. The components can be installed in any control desk and can be combined with the mtu Blue Vision New Generation automation system.
