“It is fantastic that we have been recognised for the work that we have been doing and we were thrilled when we heard the news. We are grateful to the nomination committee, highlighting the work we are doing around innovation, sustainability and efficiency”, said Dr. Ing. Sigurd Øvrebø, Managing Director of Rolls-Royce Electrical Norway.
The final took place in May and despite not winning the competition, being a finalist reflects on the various achievements of the team that has just celebrated 25 years representing electrical capability. As one of their most recent activities, Rolls-Royce Electrical Norway plays a significant role in the HE-ART project (HE-ART stands for hybrid electric propulsion systems for regional aircraft and is a project funded by the European Union’s Clean Aviation programme), which aims to transform aviation for a sustainable and climate-neutral future through leading research and innovation. Moreover, the team strongly supports the “Team Tempest” programme (a more efficient, future UK combat aircraft).
