The orders have been placed by Toyota Tsusho Corporation in Japan, a trading company under the Toyota Motors group of companies.
"Development of the renewable energy sector for protection of the environment is of great importance to the Toyota Group as it is an important element in the long-term strategic plan of the Group."

Delivery of the turbines will take place during 2007 and 2008, and installation of the turbines will start during the summer of 2007 and will continue through 2008. For these projects, Toyota Tsusho Corporation is focusing on Vestas' proven concept of the 2 MW platform, and is furthermore including Vestas' 3 MW platform for two projects in Japan.
