On May 18th, regional jet manufacturer ATR announced its plans for the next generation

of its best-selling family of regional aircraft, the ATR "EVO," due to enter service by 2030.

The next generation of aircraft will feature a new powerplant with hybrid capability and

improvements in performance, economics, and sustainability.

The new eco-design will include new propellers, upgraded systems, and an enhanced cabin.

The aircraft will remain a two-engine turboprop that can run on 100% Sustainable Aviation

The Toulouse-based company ranks as the world's number one regional aircraft manufacturer

with customers in over 100 countries worldwide.

Stefano Bortoli, Chief Executive Officer of ATR, highlighted the potential of the new

generation to reduce emissions worldwide, saying:

“Our next generation of aircraft will be a step forward in responsible flying through

When it enters the market, the new ATR 'EVO' will pave the way towards a decarbonised future

ATR currently provides several models of its turboprop aircraft to regional carriers across

the globe and is striving to lead the charge toward decarbonization.

The manufacturer recently reaffirmed its focus on lowering maintenance costs and emissions

in the Asia-Pacific region, where it maintains a significant presence.

ATR will achieve cost-saving through a 20% lower fuel burn and a 20% overall reduction

The aircraft will also feature improved performance in terms of time to climb and an enhanced

cabin, which will utilize lighter bio-sourced and recycled materials.

communities can benefit from more connectivity, more essential services, and more economic

"Our aim is to continue to offer customers and society ever more inclusive and responsible

While its a segment that maybe isn't as closely watched as narrowbody and widebody

commercial jet markets, it appears that the competition to design and build the next generation

of efficient turboprops is starting to heat up.

Embraer's new project to develop a turboprop is reportedly moving very well, at least according

to the company's CEO, Francisco Gomes Neto.

The Brazilian manufacturer could make a final decision on its newest aircraft by the end

of the year with Neto saying that his company is now in the phase of defining a supplier

for the aircraft, adding: “We are doing tests already with the concepts,

Furthermore, we expect to be ready to make a final decision on the business case by the

Better known for making regional jets, Embraer is looking to move in on ATR's territory.

Its new turboprop could have a range of a bit more than 800 nautical miles (around 1,481

While this is less than the current range of the ATR 72-600, Embraer aims to make the

aircraft faster and will have a quieter cabin due to its rear fuselage-mounted engines.
