From 1961 Onwards Mercedes Had Collaborated With Maybach Motorenbau. This Cooperation Became More Concrete As Some Products Of Mercedes’ Large Engine Program Were Also Built In Friedrichshafen Starting In 1963. These Connections Were Further Strengthened And In 1966 Led To The Establishment Of Mercedes Maybach Motorenbau. This Cooperation In Turn Led To The Creation Of MTU Friedrichshafen (MTU Is Short For Motoren Und Turbinen-Union, Engine, And Turbine Union) In 1969. In The Form Of Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG, Friedrichshafen On Lake Constance Is Still An Important Hub Of Innovation – Led By The Maybach Heritage That Made This Place An Essential Cradle Of Engine Construction In The Early 1900s.
