Research centres

The UK’s primary hub for research and development of future low‑emission aero gas turbine combustion technologies and beyond. Together, NCCAT and the Rolls‑Royce University Technology Centre provide a unique, collaborative environment that combines industrial expertise with cutting‑edge academic research to advance next‑generation propulsion technologies.

We are working alongside Caterpillar to develop a research portfolio primarily in the field of engines, engine sub-systems and hybrid powertrain systems development, to support future production and business needs.

The Centre focuses on the development and application of autonomous system and control technologies particularly in the context of aerospace and automotive engineering.
