By supplying the centre with state-of-the-art mobility solutions, thyssenkrupp Elevator meets the centre’s need to cope with future high passenger demands. The company’s elevators, escalators and moving walks offer the required levels of reliability and technical sophistication that smart cities need.

“We are proud to be chosen as the reliable mobility solutions provider for this project. Our persistent efforts to work out best options for the optimal design with high-end features and finishes such as titanium sand surface golden finish in the cabin as well as the doors, anti-scratch SST Brush Finish for the escalator decking and cladding acted as one of the biggest contributors to our winning this illustrious project,” said Peter Walker, CEO of thyssenkrupp Elevator.

Furthermore, thyssenkrupp Elevator’s heavy duty and versatile escalators and moving walks were chosen for their exceptional quality as a result of best-in-class engineering, attractive and unique design features, advanced production systems, proven energy-efficiency and safety features.
