(Correcting to clarify that Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC has sold the business.)
(Alliance News) - Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC on Wednesday said it has struck a deal to sell its "lower-power-range engines business" to Frankfurt-listed Deutz AG.
The business will be sold for a price in the "high double-digit million euros".
"This relates to diesel engines and engine systems using Daimler technology which are developed and manufactured by Daimler Truck AG for Rolls-Royce Power Systems to its specifications and used mainly in agricultural vehicles and construction machinery, not in rolling stock or in military vehicles," Rolls-Royce said.
Chief Executive Tufan Erginbilgic added: "This is a clear illustration of our strategy in action. Becoming more focused on the markets where we know Rolls-Royce can win. Power Systems is an integral part of our organisation with a strong brand and real advantage in power generation, governmental and marine end-markets, where we see the strongest demand and an opportunity for better returns from our power-dense and reliable solutions."
Rolls-Royce shares were 0.1% higher at 302.10 pence each in London on Thursday.
