Toshiba Corporation is a big
corporation, operated in many fields: power, electronics, household appliances…
It has presented in Vietnam market for
many years.
In cooperation with EVNNPT, Toshiba has provided a considerable
support in recent years. Toshiba has provided training for EVNNPT technical staffs on advanced
techniques, technologies in manufacturing equipment, installation of
transformers, operation and maintenance transformers, solving failures in
operating transformers, etc.
EVNNPT’s Chairman Dang Phan Tuong highly appreciated support by
Toshiba, especially in the installation of surge arrestor in EVNNPT’s transmission line. In 2010,
Toshiba helped EVNNPT to install
the surge arrestors in the 220kV Uong Bi – Trang Bach transmission line. This
is very helpful for EVNNPT because
the failures to transmission lines in Vietnam caused by lightning are high
leading to power transmission loss. Mr. Dang Phan Tuong revealed that EVNNPT satisfies with Toshiba products
and expects to apply many Toshiba equipment in power system of Vietnam. However,
he advised that Toshiba should have policies on reducing product price so that
it would have chances to gain in international competitive bidding for
supplying equipment for EVNNPT.
With an open and frank discussion by
EVNNPT leader, Vice Chairman of
Toshiba Corporation happily informed about the establishment of factory in
India. This is under strategy on price reduction, expansion of cooperation with
Southeast Asian countries, in the fact of maintaining the quality of products
as good as of the ones produced on Japan. It is expected that, together with
plan on training support, capacity strengthening for EVNNPT’s technical staff, the establishment of new factory will be
favourable conditions for promoting the existing cooperation between EVNNPT and Toshiba.
Closing the meeting, leaders of 2
parties agreed and committed to pay more attention so that the cooperation
would be strengthened and developed to a new position./.
