As part of Vestas' Service strategy to optimise the performance of wind energy assets, Vestas is expanding its partnership with 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. ZF develops, manufactures and repairs gearboxes for the wind industry at plants and repair shops in Germany, Belgium, China, the US, and India.
