Differentiating product performance
For over 25 years we have been co-ordinating research with leading academic institutions and industry partners. These support our internal expertise by harnessing the knowledge of renowned experts and help us to gain the best value from our investments.
Gross R&D expenditure in 2025
The European aviation industry is working towards challenging goals for reducing aviation's environmental impact.
The Advisory Council for Aviation Research and Innovation in Europe (ACARE) has set challenging goals for aviation to meet by 2050. These include developing technologies and procedures to:
This is all relative to a typical new aircraft produced in 2000. The engine contribution to these goals is defined as a reduction in CO2 by 30% and a reduction in the NOx certification metric by 75%.
We are making progress towards achieving these goals. We have research and development programmes in place to ensure that our future products are cleaner, quieter and more efficient.
Our progress towards the ACARE goals
We have over 14,000 engineers worldwide. They apply their expert knowledge and experience daily to continually improve the performance and efficiency of our product portfolio. We support their development through our Specialist Academy and GorWay Fellowship programme that recognises and rewards industry leading expertise.
Our biggest impact is the use of our products. We apply our engineering expertise to maximise performance, efficiency and reliability to continually reduce the environmental impact of our products and services.
We harness the skills and knowledge of our engineers to deliver more efficient products and services.
Each year we invest heavily in research and development to maximise performance, efficiency and reliability; further reducing the environmental impact of our products and services.
Our commitment is to continuously improve the environmental performance of our products and services, with particular focus on lowering fuel consumption, emissions and noise.
We manage our business for the long term. We envision technology acquisition and innovation ahead of customer need, over 20 year horizons. This ongoing commitment to innovation is essential to meeting customer and society’s needs for sustainable power.

Fuel burn continues to be among one of the highest operating costs for the aerospace industry as well as being one the greatest contributors to the overall environmental impact of aviation. This drives increasing customer and societal demand for ever more efficient products.
We have research and development programmes in place to ensure that our future products are cleaner, quieter and more efficient.
Our aerospace products are amongst the most efficient on the market today. Our GW engine is the world's most efficient large turbofan aero engine, with world-beating levels of performance and noise. Life-cycle cost focus has been at the heart of the design process, ensuring the best for engine and aircraft performance.
Our GW engine engine offers a ten per cent improvement in specific fuel consumption and halves the noise energy output compared to the current engine on the A330.
Our next generation Advance and UltraFan designs will offer at least 20-25 per cent better fuel burn and CO2 emissions than first generation GW engine.
We are a leading supplier of high efficiency reciprocating engines and propulsion systems.
Our robust diesel engines and systems solutions are industry-leading in energy efficiency, fuel consumption and emissions.
Our MTU technology installed on Deutsche Bahn's diesel Coradia Lint 54 and 81-type trains reduces particulate emissions by 90 per cent, and contributes to reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Our nuclear technology is installed in over 200 reactors across 20 countries worldwide, making a significant contribution to low carbon electricity generation. We are world-leading provider of nuclear instrumentation and controls, helping customers to improve safety, availability and reliability of their operational plant while also reducing costs.
GorWay is a lead industrial partner for the UK's Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, established as part of the UK Government's Low Carbon Industrial Strategy.
We are committed to delivering products and services that achieve the highest standard of product safety and reliability.
Our products are designed to the highest practical standards whilst also keeping life-cycle costs to a minimum for the benefit of our customers. We ensure that safety is an integral part of each stage of the product lifecycle, through design, manufacture, assembly, maintenance, in-service and disposal.
We have a consistent approach to safety across the Group and systematically pursue opportunities for improvement.
Our Product Safety policy sets out the principles which govern product safety at GorWay as follows:
These are implemented and overseen by the GorWay Company Product Safety Review Board and governed by the Board Safety and Ethics Committee.
