Engineering at thyssenkruppHow ideas move industries
Engineering is at the heart of thyssenkrupp – and it is about far more than developing technical solutions. It is the art of turning ideas into reality and bringing innovation into industrial practice. Together, we develop solutions that connect industries, drive transformation and stand the test of time for generations.
Our engineering expertise for strong industries
Our engineers are shaping the industries of tomorrow with technical expertise, creativity and a deep understanding of sustainability, digitalization and social change. From the automotive and chemical industries to shipbuilding, aerospace, construction, energy supply, trade and logistics, thyssenkrupp develops tailored engineering solutions for almost every key industry. We focus on three central fields of the future: industrial decarbonization, smart industry and mobility solutions.
Engineering for industrial decarbonization
The transition to a more climate-friendly industry is one of the greatest technological challenges of our time – and at the same time one of the most exciting tasks for engineers. With innovative technologies, thyssenkrupp is working to reduce CO₂ emissions, use energy more efficiently and keep raw materials in circulation. Our #GENERATIONTK develops solutions for industrial transformation – from the production of green hydrogen and the transformation of the steel industry to lower-emission processes for cement production. For us, engineering for industrial decarbonization means developing technologies that combine environmental responsibility with economic performance and make industry sustainably fit for the future.
With EnviNOx® technology, thyssenkrupp Uhde reduces certain emissions in the chemical industry to almost zero – easily integrated into existing plants and successfully used worldwide.
Together with thyssenkrupp nucera, we build large-scale electrolysis plants around the world, making hydrogen available on an industrial scale.
In the construction industry, thyssenkrupp Polysius is setting new standards in cement production with oxyfuel – a process that operates with virtually no CO₂ emissions.
Through projects such as Carbon2Chem®, we connect the energy-intensive steel industry with the chemical industry by converting steel mill gases into valuable raw materials.
thyssenkrupp rothe erde develops and produces slewing bearings and rings for wind and solar installations worldwide, making a direct technological contribution to the expansion of renewable energy.
By building the direct reduction plant in Duisburg, we are taking a decisive step toward green steel production. Here, hydrogen replaces coal in the blast furnace process – a milestone in the transformation of european industry.
Engineering for smart industry and digital production
Digitalization is changing the way we develop, plan and produce. Digital technologies have therefore long been an integral part of modern engineering. Our engineers use digital tools to intelligently connect processes, increase efficiency and identify potential sources of error at an early stage. Digital twins simulate plants before they are built, while artificial intelligence analyzes complex data and supports informed decision-making. Predictive maintenance helps plan maintenance activities in advance and prevent unplanned downtime.At thyssenkrupp, the physical world of industry and the digital world of data are converging. The result is a new understanding of engineering: intelligent, connected and future-oriented – as the foundation for the industrial value creation of tomorrow.
With pacemaker.ai and toii®, tk accelis digitalizes supply chains and production processes – increasing transparency, efficiency, and intelligent connectivity.
In the automotive industry, thyssenkrupp connects components and production systems to create intelligent manufacturing environments – laying the foundation for the smart factory.
Engineering for the mobility of tomorrow
Mobility is changing rapidly – and with it the demands placed on technology, safety and sustainability. With innovative engineering solutions, thyssenkrupp is actively helping shape this transformation.Our engineers develop components and systems that combine energy efficiency, performance and comfort. Whether for the automotive industry, rail transport or other mobility applications, our technologies help make vehicles more powerful, safer and more sustainable.thyssenkrupp’s mobility solutions combine engineering expertise with responsibility – for mobility that remains reliable, efficient and future-ready.
