Rolls Royce

HISTORY Rolls-Royce Limited was established by Henry Royce and Charles Stewart Rolls in the United Kingdom on 15 March 1906. It was initially set up as a British car manufacturer. Later on in 1914, the company started manufacturing aero-engine. It continued to excel it its business for the following decades. However, due to the development of the advanced RB211 turbofan jet engine, Rolls-Royce faced a sudden downfall in 1971. As a result, the British government acquired the business of the company. In 1973, the car division was de-merged from its parent company - Rolls-Royce Limited - and named as RollsRoyce Motors. Soon after its separation from the parent company, Rolls-Royce Motors was acquired by a British engineering firm 'Vickers' in 1980. Therefore, the automaker became a subsidiary of Vickers until 1998, when it decided to sell Rolls-Royce Motors. When it was announced that RollsRoyce is being put for sale, several contenders came forward to purchase the company, among which Volkswagen (VW) and BMW were in the forefront. Although BMW was already associated with RollsRoyce Motors, by supplying engines and other components for RollsRoyce cars, the company was ultimately sold to Volkswagen. The license for the trademarks of Rolls-Royce was distributed among Volkswagen and BMW. Volkswagen acquired the rights for the 'Sprit of Ecstasy', a hood ornament that has been used in the luxury cars of Rolls-Royce. Both BMW and VW arrived at a deal, according to which the latter would use the brand name of 'Rolls-Royce' from a period between 1998 and 2002. Thereafter, it was decided that BMW would use the 'Rolls-Royce' brand name from January 2003. Currently, BMW is the owner of the brand name 'Rolls-Royce'. Rolls-Royce cars are known for their engineering perfection and unmatched style. To commemorate its centenary, the company decided to launch a new car that reflects its true spirit and thus, Rolls-Royce Phantom was born. Rolls-Royce Phantom Rolls Royce Phantom, a saloon automobile of classic luxury, is an ultimate car in design, style and technology. For fans across the world, it is a perfect form of cars having customary Rolls Royce features. 21st century technology has been blended with the grace of yesteryears.

CHRONOLOGICAL JOURNEY OF ROLLS ROYCE 1908 Rolls-Royce opening ceremony Henry Royce built his first motor car in 1904 and in May that year met Charles Rolls, whose company sold quality cars in London. In December 1906, Rolls-Royce made its first public share offer to finance a new factory and additional machine tools. Derby made an unsolicited proposal during the final stages of negotiations and was selected on merit. Work began in autumn 1907, with the official opening following in 1908. 1919 First non-stop transatlantic crossing Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown made the first non-stop aerial crossing of the Atlantic in a Rolls-Royce Eagle powered Vickers Vimy. The crossing from Newfoundland to Ireland took 16 hours and 27 minutes. 1932 Miss England breaks world speed record Miss England was one of a succession of Rolls-Royce R engine-powered world record holding boats. It held the world record in 1932 with speed of 119mph, but was overtaken just before World War II by the Bluebird, which took the record at 141mph. 1943 The Spitfire Launched as a private venture, The Merlin became one of the most famous and influential engines ever built. Described as "the pilot's friend" the success of the Merlin engine during the war years was only possible through continuous and remarkable development during that time, as the competing nations strove to give their own pilots any possible advantage. 1958 HMS Dreadnought submarine In 1958, a bilateral agreement was signed between the US and UK governments. Admiral Rickover of the US recommended that the propulsion system work on submarine applications should be carried out by Rolls-Royce in view of the company's engineering capability. The first resultant submarine was the HMS Dreadnought. 1969 Maiden flight of Concorde

Concorde had its maiden flight from Toulouse on 2nd March 1969. An icon of modern engineering, Concorde was the world's only supersonic passenger jet. Powered by four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus engines, it was capable of travelling at twice the speed of sound. 1984 Swept fan technology Since 1984 all Rolls-Royce engines have used wide-chord fan technology. The most recent of these is the Trent 1000 which has the latest highly 'swept' blades. 1999 501 power generation In 1999, the 501 gas turbines which power both our Mallow and Mitchelstown projects went into service. The aero-derivative nature of the 501 gives better performance flexibility and fewer servicing issues. 2004 Centenary celebrations Rolls-Royce entered its hundredth year in business as the world's second largest civil aero engine company, the world's second largest defense aero engine company, a global leader in marine propulsion and a leading supplier of energy solutions: all businesses that have gas turbine technology at their heart. Celebrations were held throughout the year, with a series of special events for customers, partners from education and industry, as well as employees, families and friends in the UK, Germany, Scandinavia, North America and the Far East. 2007 Trent 900 enters service The Trent 900 was delivered to Singapore Airways (the first customer for the new 555 seat Airbus A380 aircraft) in October 2007. It is the world’s cleanest high-thrust engine, with emissions well below all current and proposed legislations, generating only 40% of the CO2 per passenger kilometer of an average family car. Despite its size and power, it’s extremely quiet, meaning the A380 has only around one third of the noise level of previous 150 seat aircraft. 2008 Establishment of new civil nuclear unit The unit was set up to meet the needs of the global market for civil nuclear power which, it’s estimated, in 15 years, will be worth £50 billion. Rolls-Royce has the largest nuclear skills base of any UK company, with around 2,000 specialist nuclear-focused employees in the UK, France and the US. The unit will provide a service that can support a number of the phases of a civil nuclear programme, including providing advice to governments and operators, technical engineering support and safety assessments, manufacturing, procurement and through-life support.

Future of Rolls Royce in India “Rolls Royce sees India emerging as most important mkt” (Courtesy: ET Now, 29 Jul 2009, 0330 hrs IST, Nandini Sen Gupta) Rolls Royce Motor Cars, the UK-based manufacturer of luxury automobiles, sees India emerging as its most important market in the next five to 10 years, and is looking at using parent BMW’s supplier network in India to source components. The super-exclusive British marque, which sells cars on the basis of pre-determined quotas in low-volume markets, seems to have realised

the potential of India, the second-fastest growing economy in the world. “We believe India will be the single most important market for Rolls Royce in the next 5-10 years,” said Tom Purves, the chief executive of the company. Mr Purves said the market for his cars is shifting from the West to the East with markets such as India and China contributing more to its growth. Rolls Royce cars are custom-made at its Goodwood factory in the UK, and the talk of sourcing components from a foreign country is a first for the carmaker. “We’re open-minded, and being within the BMW group network, we have access to all the purchasing power the group has and engineering opportunity that exists,” Mr Purves said. “In the long term, India represents a phenomenal business opportunity because we have seen a general movement of our business from the West to the East, to markets like India and China that have played a crucial part in the growth Rolls Royce has enjoyed,” Mr Purves said. India has improved its contribution to Rolls Royce’s overall business substantially. That’s good news because globally the company has seen a 25% dip. Once the brand new Ghost slides into the Indian market next year, the tally is expected to hit 50. The Ghost, to be priced Rs 2.7-3 crore, will be formally launched at the Frankfurt Auto Show this year, and bookings in India will kick off in autumn. Delivery of vehicles will begin in spring 2010, when the car will be formally rolled out in India. Rolls Royce, which was an intrinsic part of India’s princely past, made a re-entry into India in 2005, and was surprised when sales hit around acar a-month beating expectations by miles. Although the company admits it benefited from its Indian heritage, it’s now clear it wants to target the “new Maharajas — the kings of business”. “Indians like our positioning. The personalised touch appeals to their sense of style,” said Mr Purves. That explains why these bespoke beauties are zipping off the showrooms in India. Despite the fact that they cost a bomb.

Rolls Royce Businesses in India

India’s Kingfisher Airlines has become a major customer for the Rolls-Royce Trent engine series following order announcements, for ten A340-500 aircraft and twenty A350 aircraft. The ultra long-range A340 four-engined jets are powered exclusively by Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines and A350 aircraft are powered by Trent XWB engines.

"The Trent family has an outstanding pedigree which combines latest technologies with reliability and excellent operating efficiency."Jet Airways is the 1st Indian carrier to operate the Rolls-Royce Trent 700 powered A330 aircraft.

There are almost 120 V2500-powered Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft in service in India with more on order.NACIL, formerly Indian Airlines was a launch customer in 1989 for the International Aero Engines (IAE) V2500-A1 engine in which Rolls-Royce is a major partner. The airline is still operating 46 V2500-A1 powered A320 aircraft.

Kingfisher Red, India’s first low-cost carrier, began operating its fleet of A320 aircraft with V2500-A5 engines in August 2004. Since then the airline has announced several orders for the V2500-A5 powered A320 aircraft, supported by a long-term Fleet Hour Agreement maintenance support contract. The airline is eventually scheduled to have 60 aircraft. Recently Kingfisher Airlines has taken a major stake in the airline.

The V2500-A5 engine has also been selected by Kingfisher Airlines to power the carrier's fleet of Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft, the airline currently has 25 aircraft in service, with a further 22 aircraft on order.

IndiGo, the Delhi-based low-cost start-up airline, has also selected the V2500-A5 to power a fleet of 100 Airbus A320 family aircraft. It is the single biggest firm order ever received by IAE. Since Entry into Service in August the airline has seen rapid growth going from one aircraft to 18 aircraft.

IndiGo is the launch customer for V2500Select™, a combined engine upgrade and aftermarket support programme, which improves fuel burn, reduces operating costs and offers time-on-wing improvements. Engine upgrades are planned to be released to production in 2008 and will be retrofittable to the in-service fleet.

Rolls-Royce engines power eight aircraft types in service with the Indian Air Force and Navy. The Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer will start to enter service in India in 2007. Under a new licence agreement, HAL will manufacture locally the Adour 871 engine for the new Indian Air Force Hawks. The Jaguar low-level attack aircraft (equipped with two reheated Adour engines) is built by HAL and forms a major part of the Air Force inventory. Five Embraer 135 aircraft with Rolls-Royce AE 3007 engines will be used in the VVIP role by the Air Force and Border Security Force. The Kiran two-seat basic jet trainer is powered by the Viper and a more powerful version, powered by the Orpheus engine, is used for weapons training and by the Indian Air Force aerobatic display team. The Canberra with its Avon engines is used for photo reconnaissance and Dart turboprops are fitted to the Avro 748 transport aircraft. Sea King helicopters (Gnome engines) are in service with the Navy,

who also use the Model 250-powered Britten Norman Islanders for maritime patrol duties and Pegasus-powered Sea Harrier fighters. The Indian Navy and Rolls-Royce worked together to establish an engine repair and overhaul capability for the Pegasus engines fitted to the Indian Navy Sea Harriers. This is situated at the Naval base at Kochi in the far South of India.

More than 60 Rolls-Royce UT-design vessels are in service and over 300 vessels operating in India have Rolls-Royce equipment. 39 vessels of UT-Design are currently under construction at various Indian Shipyards. The successful delivery of the Syncrolift shiplift for the new Naval base at Karwar and recent orders for designs and equipment for pollution control vessels, together with water jets for Coast Guard fast patrol vessels, have strengthened the relationship with the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard. Those in build include three Pollution Control Vessels (PCVs) for the Indian Coastguard, and Platform Supply Vessels for the offshore oil and gas industry. The three PCVs are being built at ABG Shipyard to a Rolls-Royce design and incorporating an equipment package, which includes Bergen Diesel engines, Kamewa Ulstein propeller plants, Aquamaster Thruster, Tenfjord Steering, Integrated Platform Management System, etc. In addition, Rolls-Royce is also supplying Kamewa water jets for the Coastguard Fast Patrol Vessels being built by Goa Shipyard. Following

an initial two vessels launched in 2002, a further five vessels have now been ordered. The first of these, ICGS Kasturba Gandhi, was commissioned in October 2005 and there are other projects in the pipeline. Rolls-Royce has recently won orders for stabilisers for a Coast Guard Advanced Offshore Patrol Vessel. In keeping with the Indian Navy policy of encouraging local manufacturing, Rolls-Royce has been working toward the setting up of collaborative programmes for the manufacture, supply and future support of motion control equipment, shafting and propellers, Integrated Platform Management Systems (IPMS) and ship design.

Rolls-Royce addresses its energy customers in India through a whollyowned subsidiary incorporated in 1999 and based in New Delhi.
