ABB wins a strategic order from Terna

ABB從意大利Terna公司贏得一份戰略性訂單

Over the coming four years the Group will supply autotransformers to renew the Italian electricity transmission grid.

在未來的四年里，ABB集團將為更新意大利電力傳輸網提供自耦變壓器

Sesto San Giovanni, March 13, 2008 --ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, will contribute to a grid development plan being carried out by the Italian energy utility Terna. ABB will supply 13 autotransformers rated at 250 MVA and 400 MVA during the period 2008-2011. This large quantity corresponds to about a quarter of Terna’s current need for enlarging the grid.

Sesto San Giovanni3月13日消息——領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB公司，幫助意大利能源電力Terna公司實施的一個電網發展計劃。ABB將在2008年到2011年之間，供應13個額定功率為250 MVA 和400 MVA的自耦變壓器。這一批數量相當于Terna公司目前為擴大電網所需數量的四分之一。

The order was awarded after an international call for bids, in which the major domestic and foreign transformer manufacturers participated, for a total of 55 machines. The selection was made on the basis of strict technical and commercial specifications imposed by the strategic importance of the order.

這份訂單是在一個由意大利國內和國際主要的變壓器生產商參與的國際招投標之后授予的，投標自耦變壓器總數達55臺。該選擇基于該訂單的戰略重要性所施加的嚴格技術和商業規格。

"The quality of our products, which we were able to demonstrate by the excellent statistical data on faults per single units over a ten–year period, played in our favor" commented Fabrizio Pangrazi of the ABB Power Products division, Terna’s account manager. "Furthermore, we were able to document the international framework agreement signed with suppliers of essential raw materials, such as copper and the special sheet steel laminations, which protects the customer from unexpected events that might impact delivery times".

ABB電力產品部Terna客戶經理Fabrizio Pangrazi評論道：“我們的產品質量，這是我們可以在10多年時間里對每一臺單獨機器的故障而獲得的優秀的統計數據證明了的，對我們的中標發揮了很大作用。此外，我們可以提供與如銅和特殊鋼板片等基本原材料的供應商簽署的國際框架簽署證明，保障客戶免受可能影響交貨時間的突發事件。”

ABB passed the severe pre-qualification process thanks to the reliability of its apparatus, the willingness to reserve an adequate production capacity for the customer for the years needed to complete the order, the guaranteed delivery terms and the stability of the economic conditions.

ABB能通過嚴厲的資格預審過程多虧了其機器的可靠性，為客戶完成訂單所需的幾年預留足夠生產能力的意愿，交貨條款的保證以及經濟條件的穩定性。

"Together with our local presence and in-depth knowledge of Terna as a customer, we also brought all the advantages offered by our global organization"added Pangrazi. "We are pleased to note that the market has rewarded our strategy of focusing our factories, enabling us to provide Terna with medium and large power transformers from Bilbao and Cordoba, Spain, and small power transformers from the Italian factory in Monselice ".

Pangrazi繼續道：“連同我們在當地的布局以及對Terna作為客戶的深入了解，我們也帶來了我們的全球機構所提供的所有優勢。我們很高興地注意到市場對我們側重于我們工廠的策略有了回報，使得我們可以為Terna公司從西班牙畢爾巴鄂和科爾多瓦的工廠提供大中型的電力變壓器，以及從意大利的Monselice工廠提供小型電力變壓器。”
