thyssenkrupp Elevator, a global player in urban mobility, has improved its offering of customised mobility solutions in Europe and Africa with the introduction of two new elevator families: 'synergy' and 'evolution'.
The completely re-engineered 'synergy' and 'evolution' include three models each and according to thyssenkrupp are designed to offer comfortable and safe transportation in low-rise and mid-rise buildings for residential, commercial, and infrastructure applications.
All of the new models benefit from multiple technical enhancements, such as improved shaft efficiency and sustainability features. With these upgrades, the elevators can allow for the most appropriate solution to be selected for different requirements. The new product models 100/200/300 directly point to the corresponding specification and included features. In addition, thyssenkrupp has built in three design lines for the residential and commercial market which accommodate the different styles that are preferred in the European and African countries. The design lines offer a range of materials like stainless steels, laminates, and painted glass.
Inge Delobelle, CEO Business Unit Europe Africa says: “Thanks to intensive research and development work targeted at meeting the specific requirements of different customer segments, we are proud to launch our new 'synergy' and 'evolution' elevator families to the market. These new innovations offer multiple technical enhancements as well as a stylish and versatile design, with high flexibility in terms of cabin size, load and speed to perfectly match our customer’s needs.”

Meeting commercial demands
The 'evolution' product range addresses all demands of the commercial segment. The evolution 100 will travel with a maximum speed of up to 1.6 m/s and a capacity of up to 1600 kg. As a durable value for money solution, evolution 100 meets serves the demands of low- to mid-rise commercial buildings with mid-duty operations.
evolution 200 is designed for mid-rise commercial buildings that need to deliver a perfect experience in design and convenience (ride-comfort). A landing accuracy of +/- 1 mm ensures safe and comfortable access for passengers. While the evolution 200 travels with up to 2.50 m/s and will carry up to 2,500 kg, the evolution 300 – capable of the same speed – can carry loads up to 4,000 kg.
Residential and commercial
In the functional residential segment, the new 'synergy 100' can offer drastically reduced shaft dimensions both in the pit and the overhead – important especially for new installations business in certain markets such as Germany.

synergy 200 is designed as a flexible solution for both new installations and complete modernisations in the residential segment. The cabin dimensions can be customised to ensure maximum efficient space usage of the elevator shaft. synergy 300 offers a very competitive solution for low-duty low-rise commercial application to satisfy less demanding commercial applications such as schools, clinics or hotels. All models carry loads up to 1,000 kg. Both, synergy 200 and 300 are capable of a travel speed of up to 1.75 m/s while synergy 100 offers a travel speed of 1 m/s.
Like evolution, the new synergy range shows precise customer segmentation capabilities: synergy 100 and 200 are most appropriate for the residential use, while synergy 300 best suits commercial and infrastructure purposes.
