Rolls-Royce builds on Chinese partnership

The Rolls-Royce Power Systems division and its Chinese partner Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company intend to further intensify their collaboration in the construction and sale of engines.

A corresponding agreement was signed by representatives of both companies during the visit to Friedrichshafen by a highranking delegation from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region headed by Chairman Chen Wu and Yuchai Chairman Yan Ping.

The two companies are already partnering closely in their joint venture MTU Yuchai Power, which was founded in 2017 and manufactures MTU S4000 diesel engines in the southern Chinese city of Yulin. The joint venture has been manufacturing MTU engines for power generation applications in the Chinese market since 2018.
