Moventas and Areva Wind have signed an agreement worth EUR 80 million concerning 5 MW gear unit deliveries for the coming years. ?We are very pleased to find that Areva Wind trusts our leading expertise and over 30-year history in creating technically superior gear solutions for medium-speed and multi-megawatt class drive trains?, comments Arto Lahtela, Senior Vice President of Wind Gears with Moventas.

The new offshore gear will strengthen the Moventas product range, especially for the European markets, where the demand for offshore wind turbines is showing promising signs of growth. Challenging offshore conditions set extremely high requirements for both product design and manufacturing technologies. Moventas provides Areva Wind?s international offshore wind expansion with a reliable medium speed offshore wind gear.
