Otis unveils elevators for mass and affordable housing

Otis Elevator Company (India) Ltd announced the launch of the Gen2 Core, an energy efficient elevator designed to meet the needs of the Indian mass and affordable housing segments.

With a speed of 0.7 metre-per-second (MPS) and options of machine-room or machine-room less arrangements, this elevator is ideal for low-rise residential buildings. Affordable homes make up almost 90 per cent of the demand for homes in India.

Built on Otis’ Gen2 technology platform, this latest product offers an upgrade from traditional rope-geared systems to the permanent magnet (PM) gearless-belted technology.

Sebi Joseph, President, Otis India said, “A majority of the Indian residential segment have buildings that are less than 6 to 7 storeys high. The Gen2 Core offers this segment an elevator that is environmentally responsible. As India continues to urbanise we need to look at sustainable solutions, and the Gen2 offers just that through its energy saving and space conservation features.”
