Rolls-Royce to supply Mtu engines for british army's
scout SV Armoured fighting vehicle
Rolls-Royce has received an order from General Dynamics European
Land Systems for the delivery of 589 MTU Series 199 diesel engines
for use in the new SCOUT Specialist Vehicle (SV) for the British
Army.
The contract value is approximately EUR80m and will be the first
time that MTU engines have been utilised in British Army platforms.
The vehicles will be delivered by General Dynamics UK in six
variants and will form the backbone of the British Army's future
fleet of Armoured Fighting Vehicles. Delivery of the engines will
start in 2016, and the last engines will be delivered in 2022.
Dr Ulrich Dohle, Rolls-Royce Power Systems, CEO said: "We are
delighted that our MTU engine has been trusted for this important
project. This order once again proves that when it comes to
performance and reliability, the Series 199 engine is benchmark in
its power range."
The 8V 199 TE21 engines each have a power output of 600
kilowatts and are the most powerful engines of the series. Engines
of Series 199 have established themselves in various armoured
vehicles, among them the Austrian ULAN and the Spanish Pizarro
vehicles. MTU's scope of delivery includes the cooling system and
two generators with 550 Amperes with each engine.
MTU is part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems within the Land &
Sea division of Rolls-Royce.
