New machine room-less elevator to enter Asian, Middle East markets
Hitachi Ltd and Hitachi Building Systems Co Ltd will launch a new machine room-less elevator for Asia and the Middle East on Friday, which will subsequently be released gradually over time across countries in both regions.
Hitachi will begin sales of this new elevator model in the Middle East and countries across Asia, including ther Kingdom of Thailand, Republic of the Philippines, and India.
Through these activities, it aims to receive orders of about 5,000 units in the respective regions, according to a report.
The new elevator model, which was developed in Japan, is equipped with Hitachi's latest technologies. It also offers uniform basic specifications to meet the different standards of each country and respond flexibly and quickly to the needs of customers.
It features the latest design and functions developed for the Japanese market, ensuring a high level of safety based on the electronic safety technology.
It also uses a regenerative operation system and LEDs to save on energy, while a deodorising ion generator helps to create a clean and comfortable environment in the car.
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for machine room-less elevators in the Asian and the Middle Eastern markets.
Machine room-less elevators are designed to have no machine room where a traction machine, a control board, and other lifting components are normally installed. Instead, these components are housed inside the hoistway.
Until now, Hitachi's international elevator business has brought machine room-less elevators originally developed for other markets to Asian and Middle Eastern countries by customising them to meet the legal and technical requirements of each country.
