MTU Friedrichshafen
In autumn 1968, MAN Turbo GmbH and Daimler-Benz formed a new joint venture, initially known as "Entwicklungsgesellschaft für Turbomotoren GmbH", which combined their aircraft engine development and manufacturing interests. In July 1969, this joint venture was superseded by "Motoren- und Turbinen-Union GmbH" (MTU), which took over the aircraft engine and high-speed diesel engine activities of both MAN Turbo and Daimler-Benz. "MTU München" was responsible for aircraft engines, while MTU Friedrichshafen was responsible for diesel engines and other gas turbines.
