Rolls-Royce and Italian yacht manufacturer Sanlorenzo have extended their framework agreement for the supply of mtu engines, mtu automation and mtu exhaust aftertreatment systems for a further four years.
Among the yachts Sanlorenzo currently equips with mtu Series 2000 and 4000 engines are the Alloy 44/48 and 1150 EXP models and the largest Sanlorenzo Yacht to date, the Steel, which can be up to 74 meters in length with
The engines are approved for renewable diesel (HVO); IMO-III-compliant mtu propulsion solutions with an mtu SCR system are available as an option.
The mtu engine Series 2000 is designed for small to medium-sized vessels in the power range from 452kW to 1,939kW, while the mtu Series 4000 is designed for larger vessels and higher power requirements in the range from around 720kW to 4,300kW.

“Yacht operators benefit from their power, reliability and fuel efficiency, as well as from our worldwide service network.”
Massimo Perotti, executive chairman Sanlorenzo, added: “The yachting sector is living a phase of great technological innovation, especially for sustainability.
“Sanlorenzo has always been a pioneer in cutting-edge solutions, and with our project ‘Road 2030’ we are guiding the sector towards the green revolution.”
He added: “However, we are convinced that to do so it is essential to join forces with the entire supply chain, and to involve all the players in the sector to discuss and share common objectives.
“In this context, reliable and efficient engines will continue to be essential. That is why we continue to offer our customers mtu propulsion systems.
“Our collaboration with Rolls-Royce is based on mutual trust that we have maintained for decades.”
