Gamesa Corporación Tecnológica and M.Torres designs will share a project of research and development of a new concept of wind blade as well as its automated manufacturing process. The new production process will provide significant improvements in the manufacturing cycle time of blades, with a consequent reduction of the unit cost of manufacturing. The agreement envisages a total investment of EUR 100 million.
MTorres designs will participate in the project as a manufacturer of process equipment and apply to the production of blades wind, proprietary development technologies used in the aeronautical sector.
The new concept of shovel will improve the profitability of wind farms and their adaptation to the environment. Its mass production will begin at the end of 2011.
