Virtual reality simulations found its hybrid technology could be used on the Lake Constance Belt Railway to reduce emissions

A developer of a revolutionary sustainable alternative to steel ducting has attracted none other than Rolls-Royce to its books.

It is working with partners to develop engines that are also expected to use 25% less fuel

It will work with Superdielectrics for the development of batteries using the same material originally designed for contact lenses

It was selected as the preferred bidder by EDF Energy in 2016 to supply heat exhangers

Rolls-Royce has awarded a contract to Nuclear AMRC for the development of a small modular reactor (SMR) demonstrator. The project will develop an understanding of modules and help underpin the early stage design principles for the manufacture, construction and operation of its SMR power plants in the UK. Rolls-Royce is leading a consortium of British […]

Airbus, Rolls-Royce and Siemens have teamed up to develop a hybrid electric aircraft for take-off in 2020. The E-Fan X hybrid-electric technology demonstrator aims to push and mature the technology, performance, safety and reliability, enabling quick progress on the hybrid electric technology. The programme also hopes to establish the requirements for future certification of electrically […]

Small nuclear reactors (SMRs) will play an essential role in the UK’s journey towards decarbonisation.
