Jens Ennen, President and CEO of Tadano said: “This cooperation agreement marks a milestone in the re-orientation of our mobile crane business. We’re delighted to have strong, reliable partners like Rolls-Royce and Daimler Truck at our side as we grow. Even in the midst of the pandemic with its supply chain uncertainties, Rolls-Royce has continued to deliver reliable drive solutions of the highest quality.”
Dr Lei Berners-Wu, Vice President Global Industrial at Rolls-Royce business unit Power Systems, said: “This agreement deepens the cooperation between two companies who are already an excellent fit. Tadano and Rolls-Royce both look back on a strong tradition and are using their innovative products to tackle the future jointly.”
Rolls-Royce business unit Power Systems is currently undergoing a transformation from engine manufacturer to provider of sustainable, integrated drive and power generation solutions. With its sustainability program ‘Net Zero at Power Systems’, it is moving decisively towards its goal of climate-neutral solutions. Hence most of the engines supplied to Tadano are certified for use with sustainable fuels and can therefore be run to achieve a net-zero emissions balance. “We’re already swapping ideas with our partner Tadano on other climate-neutral technologies,” said Berners-Wu.
Tadano’s standard platform strategy, of which mtu engines form an integral part, reduces the complexity of its portfolio, enabling customers worldwide to benefit from even better products and a more streamlined service. Besides engines, transmissions from Daimler Truck AG are also incorporated into the new platform strategy.
