Specially special<br />
Elegance, aesthetics and functionality. Yacht buyers<br />
love the unique and individual. As does <strong>MTU</strong>. And<br />
very soon it is something captains will not only feel<br />
– they will see it too. Because <strong>MTU</strong> has teamed up<br />
with top Italian designers Pininfarina to produce<br />
new concepts for bridge controls. Power lever, digital<br />
display, analog instruments and the control desk<br />
buttons are all made in the same mold – tastefully<br />
and artistically crafted. So in future even standarddesigned<br />
yachts will be able to have a splash of<br />
individuality. The Pininfarina-design components<br />
can be fitted in any bridge control desk and are<br />
combinable with the latest <strong>MTU</strong> Blue Vision New<br />
Generation automation system. “In the luxury yacht<br />
sector, at which the design concept is aimed, there<br />
is currently no other comparable solution on the<br />
market,” says Martin Boll, Bridge Design project<br />
manager at <strong>MTU</strong>, “Shipbuilders that fit out their<br />
yachts with the new-design <strong>MTU</strong> components can<br />
set themselves apart from their competitors and<br />
gain a significant market advantage.”<br />
