Rolls-Royce Allots More Hybrid-electric Resources to Germany
The UK engine maker is teaming with the state of Brandenburg to create a regional ecosystem for hybrid- electric power and propulsion activities.

Hard on the heels of last month’s proposed acquisition of Siemens’s electric and hybrid-electric aerospace propulsion “eAircraft” business, Rolls-Royce on Monday inked an agreement with the state of Brandenburg to create a so-called ecosystem for hybrid-electric drive systems for aircraft in the German region. The arrangement, which still needs to be formalized, marks another step in the UK engine manufacturer’s electrification strategy and its ambition to play a major role in what it describes as the “third era” of aviation.
