The evaluation of the engine’s residual value is one MTU Maintenance’s key competences and forms the basis of MTUPlus Asset Value Maximization. Depending on the results, engine owners have several options to perform a smooth exit of their end-of-life engines and earn money with these at the same time. Offers run from lease-out, sale and exchange solutions to teardown and material management. Built on a modular basis, the different options can be combined among each other to fully respond to the requirements of the engine owner. MTUPlus Asset Value Maximization is carried out by MTU Maintenance’s subsidiary MTU Maintenance Lease Services B.V., a joint venture with the Japanese trading house Sumitomo Corporation. The joint venture was founded to increase MTU’s activities with the leasing of commercial aircraft engines and was now expanded further to include asset and material management services for older and current generation engines as well.
