The company produces diesel engines for the application fields of shipping, energy supply, heavy vehicles, military vehicles and railways in the power range from 20 to 10,000 kW (27 to 13,410 hp). In addition to its own products, MTU also sells Mercedes-Benz industrial engines for off-highway applications and gas turbines from the manufacturer General Electric for complex ship propulsion systems and power plants.
history
The result is MTU from the in on 23rd March 1909 Bissingen / Enz established aircraft engine construction GmbH . The company moved to Friedrichshafen in 1912 and was renamed Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH in 1918 . This manufactured all of the engines for the Wehrmacht's tracked vehicles - but not all of them at the Friedrichshafen site.
In 1960 Daimler-Benz bought the company, with Jean Raebel having a decisive role . In 1966 the company was merged with the large engine construction of Daimler-Benz to form "Maybach Mercedes-Benz Motorenbau GmbH". Finally, in 1969, the name "Motoren- und Turbinen-Union Friedrichshafen GmbH" (MTU) was coined when a contract was signed with Daimler-Benz, MAN and MTU Munich (engine construction, today MTU Aero Engines ).
From an organizational point of view, MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH then belonged to the DaimlerChrysler Off Highway division and worked closely with the Daimler subsidiary Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) and VM Motori , a subsidiary of DDC since 1995. The minority shareholders at the time - the Maybach families (7.2%), von Brandenstein-Zeppelin (3.124%) and GBZ Holding GmbH (1.326%) - sold their shares to DaimlerChrysler at the beginning of September 2005 in order to complete the planned sale of MTU Friedrichshafen to enable an investor . On December 27, 2005, DaimlerChrysler AG sold MTU to the Swedish private equity group EQT for 1.6 billion euros .
As of July 2006, the brand and company group around the MTU Group was renamed Tognum GmbH . The Friedrichshafen factories and the MTU brand name were retained. Since going public on July 2, 2007, Tognum has had the legal form of a stock corporation . As of 2011, the engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce and Daimler owned 98.3% of Tognum's capital through their joint subsidiary Engine Holding GmbH . On August 26, 2014, the Rolls-Royce Group took over all of the Daimler shares.
