The revolutionary MULTI elevator technology utilizes linear motors in elevator cabins, along with horizontal shaft-changing cabin systems to increase capacity while reducing both the elevator footprint and energy consumption.
MULTI provides a new and efficient transport solution for mid- and high-rise buildings while drastically transforming how people move inside buildings.
MULTI incorporates technology from magnetic levitation, a transportation system in which trains glide above a track, supported by magnetic repulsion and propelled by a linear motor. When applied to elevator cabins, it enables them to move in shafts in the same way trains move in rail systems, with various cabins per shaft and vertical as well as horizontal movements.
ThyssenKrupp expects the first MULTI prototype will be in testing by 2016.
