Volvo Aero expands participation in gas turbine area
Volvo Aero and General Electric (GE) have signed an agreement whereby Volvo Aero will increase its share in the LM6000® industrial gas turbine program by adding the high pressure compressor Stage 3-9 Spool. As a result of this agreement, the increase in sales for Volvo Aero is expected to be about SEK 850 M over the life of the LM6000 programme.“We continue to expand our business with GE on the Aero Derivative programs and this 3-9 Spool gives good synergies with the rest of our products in the rotating part manufacturing center,” said Olof Persson, President and CEO of Volvo Aero.Volvo
