DEUTZ and Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems Business Unit reached a general agreement today on the takeover of the sales and service operations for various industrial engines. Subject to final agreement, DEUTZ is expected to take over the distribution of the mtu Classic series and the mtu engine series 1000-1500, which are based on Daimler Truck engine platforms. The engines are used in various off-highway applications, mainly construction equipment and agricultural machinery. In addition, DEUTZ is taking over the service operations for engines that are already in service.

After the conclusion of the agreement, DEUTZ expects additional revenue of around €300 million per year with an EBIT margin exceeding the current DEUTZ group margin. The expected purchase price for the engine portfolio is a high double-digit million Euro amount.

Following a final agreement, the closing – subject to regulatory approvals – is expected from mid-2024.
