ExxonMobil launches oil-change vehicles for wind turbines

ExxonMobil has launched a new oil-change vehicle for wind turbines that can be used in mountain roads, small areas and wind farms in China's southern regions.

The company said the oil-change vehicles, introduced at the recent China Wind Power Exhibition in Beijing, are part of ExxonMobil's plans to expand coverage of Mobil wind turbine services in China and in line with wind farms in the country moving to the southern and eastern regions, said Ng Wei Fang, deputy general manager of Exxon-Mobil China Investment Co Ltd.

China's wind power development has till now been mostly confined to the northern regions, whereas the government plans to accelerate onshore wind energy resources in the mid-eastern and southern parts of the country over the next few years, with newly installed and connected capacity reaching more than 42 million kilowatts by 2020 in these regions.
