The two companies announced an expansion of their joint venture, MTU Yuchai Power, which has been manufacturing Rolls-Royce’s mtu Series 4000 engines for power generation since 2018.

They explain that the partnership will now extend to producing more variants of the mtu Series 2000 and 4000 engines, including those for the oil and gas industry.

This expansion is expected to begin in the second half of 2025. The mtu engines from MTU Yuchai Power are used for emergency power supply in safety-critical industries such as data centres and semiconductor factories in China, South Korea, Singapore and Indonesia.

Rolls-Royce’s intensified cooperation with Yuchai aligns with its strategic focus on power generation, a critical growth area for the company’s Power Systems division.

The move is also supported by Chinese government policies that promote the manufacturing sector, providing a strong foundation for the joint venture’s success.

With this expansion, Rolls-Royce aims to bolster its position in the high-end power generation market, further contributing to its stock’s exceptional performance, up over 67% in 2024 alone.
