Vestas partners with leading gearbox manufacturer ZF
News release from
Vestas Wind Systems A/S
18 July, 2018
As part of Vestas’ Service strategy to optimise the performance
of wind energy assets, Vestas is expanding its partnership with
leading gearbox provider ZF to offer global service solutions for
customers’ gearboxes.
By expanding the partnership with ZF, Vestas
will offer customers solutions that can lower repair costs,
decrease downtime, and limit additional future repairs. Leveraging
the companies’ complementary service capabilities and global
footprints, the partnership also promotes mutual knowledge
transfer, cooperation on training, and joint documentation
development.
Through the partnership, Vestas becomes ZF’s
preferred supplier to perform uptower repair work and ZF becomes
Vestas’ preferred supplier for shop repairs and replacement units.
Vestas has a long track record of efficiently repairing gearboxes
on site, without removing them from the turbine, saving significant
time and reducing cost. This expertise will result in unparalleled
speed and efficiency offered to fleet owners worldwide.
Christian Venderby, GSVP, Service says: “By
partnering with ZF, we can return the turbine to service faster
than anyone in the market and leverage our extensive volume with ZF
to have best-in-market pricing, terms and lead times. And depending
on the customers’ asset management strategy, we can now deliver
everything from a standalone uptower repair to a complete exchange
and turnkey solution globally. With this new partnership, we are
expanding our gearbox capabilities and are at the same time
lowering the total cost of ownership -- all to the benefit of our
customers”.
ZF develops, manufactures and repairs gearboxes
for the wind industry at plants and repair shops in Germany,
Belgium, China, the US, and India. Going forward, Vestas and ZF
will also collaborate on new repair and gearbox service products
that can benefit the rest of the industry.
