Euh, juste une question comme ça, en passant... La MP4/20, elle avait un V10 diesel de poids lourd, de char d'assaut, de navire ou de locomotive ?
Parce que pousser un moteur diesel à 19000 t/m en le gavant de surcroît d'essence sans plomb, tu m'étonnes qu'ils aient eu des problèmes avec leurs moulins chez McLaren...
Plus sérieusement, je doute fortement que ce deal comprenne la cession d'Ilmor qui assemble et développe les moteurs F1 de Mercedes.
The Board of Management of DaimlerChrysler AG has approved the sale of the engine manufacturer, MTU Aero Engines GmbH, of Munich, to the US financial investor, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR).
The transaction is expected to be closed by the end of December, subject to the approval of DaimlerChrysler’s Supervisory Board and clearance by the relevant anti-trust authorities. MTU Aero Engines will continue its programs and cooperations, especially its close strategic alliance with the US engine manufacturer, Pratt & Whitney, as before.
MTU Aero Engines, a 100% subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler AG, employs some 8,300 persons and achieved revenues of about €2.2 billion in 2002. About 80% of this total was accounted for by the civil aero engine business. The sale to KKR opens up additional opportunities for the further development of MTU Aero Engines.
DaimlerChrysler AG sells its DaimlerChrysler Off-Highway business unit to financial investor EQT. The Supervisory Board has approved the sale. The transaction includes the sale of MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH and of the off-highway activities of Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC), Detroit.
