What MTU Onsite Energy does

MTU Onsite Energy (mtu Solutions) is a global product and solution brand of Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG, headquartered in Friedrichshafen, Germany, manufacturing large diesel engines, complete propulsion systems, and power generation equipment. The company's portfolio spans diesel and gas generator sets, dynamic UPS systems (mtu Kinetic PowerPack), grid-scale energy storage (mtu EnergyPack QG, mtu EnergetIQ), hybrid marine propulsion (mtu Hybrid PropulsionPack), high-speed engine series (Series 2000, 4000, 1163, 8000), and ship automation systems (mtu NautIQ, mtu Callosum). It serves six primary verticals — power generation, commercial marine, yacht, oil & gas, mining, rail, and governmental/defense — with notable capabilities in safety-critical standby power and integrated drive/propulsion for ships and heavy-duty land vehicles.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of engines and generator sets across verticals, complemented by a service stream including ValueCare long-term maintenance agreements, remanufacturing and overhaul solutions, genuine spare parts, extended coverage plans, upgrades, and training. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by a global sales-and-service locator network and a 24/7/365 Customer Assistance Center, with regional websites covering Europe, North America, Eastern Europe & CIS, Turkey/Africa/Middle East, Latin America, South East Asia & India, North East Asia, Greater China, and Australia. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Manufacturing and R&D are anchored in Friedrichshafen, Augsburg, and Ruhstorf (Germany) and Mankato, Minnesota (United States), with sustainability initiatives including HVO-fueled engine testing (up to 90% CO2 reduction) and 2023 hydrogen engine validation.
