Onshore wind OEM giant Vestas is expanding its partnership with gearbox specialist ZF to offer global service solutions to turbine operators.

Vestas said ZF becomes its preferred supplier for shop repairs and replacement units. On the flip side, ZF makes the Danish OEM its own preferred supplier for uptower repair work.

Vestas global service head Christian Venderby claimed the enhanced partnership means it can offer market-leading service turnaround and pricing.
