Rolls-Royce opened a new University Technology Centre (UTC) at the University of Manchester in 2004 to pursue research into innovative electrical technologies for aerospace, marine and energy applications.
The Rolls Royce University Technology Centre in Electrical Systems for Extreme Environments was officially opened by Rolls-Royce Chief Operating Officer John Cheffins , just one mile from where Charles Rolls and Henry Royce forged their original partnership at Manchesters Midland Hotel in 1904.
Research is focused on designing electrical systems which are lighter and more efficient than the heavy pneumatic and mechanical systems used on ships and planes today. Reducing weight will reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions, increase efficiency and ultimately reduce the cost of travel.
