The first phase of the project has already been completed and put into operation, while the second phase is about to be completed and put into operation.
On fully completion, it will achieve complete localization of the production process for wind power main gearbox components with a capacity of over 5MW.
Looking ahead, the company will strive to become the world's largest manufacturer of large megawatt wind power main gearbox components, injecting more impetus into the regional development of high-end equipment manufacturing.
