Rolls-Royce Company was founded in 1906, and its founders were Charles Stuart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce. Many people will confuse Rolls-Royce Plc with Rolls-Royce cars. In fact, they were split into two independent companies as early as 1973, and now Rolls-Royce Motor Company has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMW in 2003.
The main differences between Rolls-Royce and Rolls-Royce cars are as follows:
1: Different name: Rolls-Royce PLC Rolls-Royce Motor Company (Rolls-Royce Motor Company)
2. The logo color is different, Rolls-Royce is blue and white, and Rolls-Royce is silver and black.
3. Different businesses: one is an aero-engine manufacturer and the other is a luxury car manufacturer.
Company Name: Rolls-Royce Foreign Language Name: Rolls-Royce Industry: Aeroengine Manufacturing Headquarters Location: Westminster, UK Established Time: 1906 Business Scope: Aeroengine Manufacturing Annual Turnover: 20.969 billion USD (20 15)? Number of employees: 50,500 (20 15)? Founder: Charles Stuart Rolls Company Abbreviation: Rolls-Royce Company Ranked 499th among the top 500 companies in the world (20 16)? Founding background, company products, historical evolution, competition for China, layoffs, founding background "Rolls Royce" and "Rolls Royce" are all translated from English Rolls Royce. Rolls-Royce is one of the three largest aero-engine manufacturers in the world. Initially, the company mainly engaged in automobile design, production and sales, but also engaged in engine manufacturing. After World War II, the production of aero-engines became one of the company's main businesses. Because 197 1 developed a new aero-engine, it lost money and was heavily in debt, which led to bankruptcy. After that, it was reorganized with the intervention of Britain, and the company was divided into two companies: automobile and aero-engine. Since then, Rolls-Royce Aeroengine Company has recovered its vitality, while Rolls-Royce Motor Company has been merged by German BMW Company. Rolls royce Co., Ltd. was the company name when 1906 was founded, and was later split into rolls royce Company (an aviation power system and defense company) and rolls royce Automobile Company in 1973. Rolls-Royce Motor Company is an automobile department with two brands: Rolls-Royce and Bentley. 1998, Volkswagen acquired the company and changed its name to Bentley motor co., ltd; . Rolls royce brand was authorized by rolls royce Company to set up a new automobile company named Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Since 1999, Rolls-Royce Motor Company has become the manufacturer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and is owned by BMW. Rolls royce Company is a century-old company with gas turbine technology as its core, which is active in the four major markets of global civil aviation, national defense, shipping and energy. Rolls-Royce's most famous products are military and civil engines, and it is the second largest manufacturer of military and civil engines in the world. If Boeing and Airbus are duopoly in the field of trunk airliner engines produced by Rolls-Royce, then General Electric (hereinafter referred to as GE) and Rolls-Royce are a pair of predators in the trunk airliner engine market. In the field of international regional aviation manufacturing, Rolls-Royce and GE have more obvious influence on aviation manufacturing oligarchs. At the same time, Rolls-Royce is also the main engine supplier of Gulfstream, a manufacturer of large luxury business jets, occupying most of the engine market of Gulfstream business jets in the world. At the same time, Rolls-Royce also manufactures marine engines and nuclear power plants for the Royal Navy's nuclear-powered submarines. History 1960s, Rolls-Royce has successively merged Bristol, Black and Napier, becoming the largest aero-engine company in Britain. 197 1 year, Rolls-Royce began to develop a unique three-rotor RB2 1 1 engine. Because the three-rotor technology is relatively new, and Rolls-Royce's composite fan technology failed to pass the test, the development cycle of the RB2 1 1 engine project that was hastily launched was delayed for too long, which eventually led to insufficient financial support for Rolls-Royce and had to be nationalized by Britain. The aero-engines produced in rolls royce have learned this lesson, and rolls royce really realized that it is necessary to choose a development path of aero-engines that conforms to the market rules, so as to embark on the road of core engines and verification machines, until the series development. After years of development, the RB2 1 1 series three-rotor engines developed by the company have become one of the most successful engine series in contemporary large civil aviation engines. 1973 Rolls-Royce Motor Company and Rolls-Royce Motor Company became two independent companies, focusing on aero-engines and luxury cars respectively. 1987, British state-owned capital withdrew again, and Rolls-Royce returned to private ownership. Starting from 1990s, Rolls-Royce tried to catch up with GE through joint ventures, cooperation and cross-border acquisitions. When Rolls-Royce wanted to enter the power supplier field of Boeing 737 series aircraft, CFM56 was basically selected as the engine supplier of this series aircraft, and a large part of ge's profits came from the joint venture company CFMI. In order to compete with GE for the engine market of large aircraft with 100 seats or more, rolls royce and Pratt & Whitney established the International Aeroengine Company (IAE) to compete for the engine market of Airbus A320 series, the biggest competitor of Boeing 737, by developing V2500 engine. Although V2500 is still not as popular as CFM56, figures by 2006 show that IAE has delivered more than 3,000 V2500 engines, with an average of one delivered every day, and the total number of orders exceeds 4,200. In the field of regional aero-engines, rolls royce adopted acquisition measures to narrow the gap with General Electric. AE3007 is manufactured by rolls royce Company in the United States, and its predecessor is Allison Company in the United States, which specializes in producing small turbofan engines for feeder machines. 10 month, acquired by Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce has developed from a blank small engine field to an equal share with GE, and the two predators firmly control the international regional aviation power market. In the military field, Stephen hillier, Chief of Staff of the Royal Air Force, said at the Air Force Congress held in London in July 2065438+2009 that the Royal Air Force had awarded a two-year contract to rolls royce Company of Britain for the design, development, analysis and experimental research of advanced high Mach number propulsion system. One of the goals is to study how to apply the Saber engine technology of British Reaction Engine Company to the current supersonic turbine engines, making them more efficient and wider in envelope, such as the Rolls-Royce EJ-200 turbofan engine used in eurofighter typhoon. In the field of civil aircraft manufacturing, Boeing and Airbus once accused each other of subsidies. In fact, it is the same in the field of civil engines. "In the United States, for example, the United States * * * invested, and the technology generated by the two major engine technology plans (IHPTET and VAATE) led by the US Department of Defense is dual-use, which invisibly transferred American investment to the research and development of civil engines of companies such as GE and Pratt & Whitney. The same is true of Britain and Rollo. " Liu Jinggang believes that the experience of Europe and the United States in supporting the development of their aviation industry with practical actions is worth studying in China. In the global large-scale civil engine market for China, the top two Rolls-Royce and General Electric are competing fiercely. Especially after Airbus and Boeing put the battlefield in China, the competition between Rolls-Royce and General Electric for the aircraft engine market in China became more intense. Rolls-Royce's business in China is still limited to civil engines, energy and ships. It established Xi 'an Xiluo Aviation Parts Co., Ltd. with Xi 'an Engine Company, and built a ship equipment factory in Nanhui, Shanghai to produce and assemble rudder, control, deck machinery and steering system. It also set foot in the West-to-East Gas Transmission Project in China. As the EU arms embargo on China has not been lifted, rolls royce companies are temporarily unable to set foot in China's defense equipment market. Aircraft engines produced in rolls royce, however, rolls royce values the civil aircraft engine market in China most. As the representatives of the next generation aircraft technology, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Airbus A380 and Airbus A350XWB wide-body aircraft all set their sights on the China market, which also means that China will have a huge demand market for aircraft engines. Luo Shijie, President of Rolls-Royce China, said that Rolls-Royce regards China as the biggest growth market in the next 20 years and chooses China as the center to expand into Asia. For Boeing 787 Dreamliner, GE GEnx and Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines can meet the engine power requirements, and both engines are in the stage of ground test, flight test and evidence collection. The A380 can also choose Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or GP 7000. GE and Pratt & Whitney have set up a joint venture to develop this engine for the A380 power support project. More importantly, Rolls-Royce is striving to become the sole engine supplier of Airbus A350XWB. Of course, GE doesn't want to see this happen. Presumably this contest will be staged in China sooner or later. In fact, in the second half of 2006, Rollo and Ge had staged several seesaw battles in China. On August 24th of that year, GE announced that it would provide GEnx engines for the 10 Boeing 787 Dreamliner purchased by China Southern Airlines. At the same time, GE will also provide OnPointSM service solutions for the fleet loaded with GEnx. The total value of the engine project is $240 million, and it is planned to be delivered in 2008. Rome also received two consecutive big orders in China market. At the end of August, HNA announced that it had ordered 50 ERJ 145 aircraft powered by rolls royce AE3007 engines, and agreed to purchase more than 100 engines and provide general maintenance services for these engines. The order is worth more than 500 million dollars, and the scheduled delivery date starts from 20 13. In June of the same year, 5438+ 10, China International Airlines newly ordered 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and chose Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine. This is the first time that an airline in China has chosen Trent 1000 engine, and this order also includes a new total care agreement. This large order worth 800 million dollars will be delivered from June 2008. Compared with Rolls-Royce, GE is a pioneer in China market. GE developed CF34- 10A engine for the new branch line project in China, in order to win the qualification of power supplier for the new branch line project in China. CF34- 10A Core machine based on CFM56-7. CF34- 10A engine has been confirmed for airworthiness certification of domestic ARJ2 1 aircraft. GE promised to transfer the production line of this engine to China once the new branch line in China is "successful". On Tuesday, at 20 1 14, Taipei time, Rolls-Royce, a British aero-engine manufacturer, announced that it planned to lay off 2,600 employees in the next 18 months to cut costs. It is estimated that the expenses related to this layoff will be included in the next two years.
