Four Vietnamese companies will establish a joint venture with German manufacturer Fuhrlaender AG to build Vietnam’s first wind turbine factory, an executive of one of the Vietnamese firms said. “The negotiations are in the final stage,” said Vu Dinh Tuan, deputy director of Thien Nang Co., a Vietnamese green-energy products company. The other three Vietnamese partners are machine manufacturer Lilama, construction machinery company Coma, and Techcombank. Tuan said the joint venture would have an initial investment capital of USD 39 million, and that construction of the wind turbine manufacturing plant would begin in 2009 at the Nhon Hoi economic zone in Binh Dinh province.
