innovations
TurboTrack the accelerated moving walkway
A revolutionary horizontal solution for transporting
passengers, developed entirely in Asturias. This
high-tech walkway combines two different speeds:
entering and exiting are carried out at a standard
speed (0.65 m/s), while the central area reaches
a constant transport speed (2 m/s). Passengers
experience the feeling of comfort and safety at all
times.
The TurboTrack won first prize in the ThyssenKrupp
Innovation Contest held in 2007. It was awarded both
TV SD and TSSA certification in 2008.

TWIN Elevator
synergy Elevator
This unique system is the first to have two elevator cabs travelling independently,
one above the other, in the same shaft. Developed within the Group, this spaceand material-saving technology offers many advantages over conventional
elevator systems, including the fact that waiting and travel times are minimized,
in part thanks to the intelligent destination control system which reduces empty
trips and waiting time to a minimum and enables passengers to arrive at their
destination faster. It also allows the number of shafts needed to be reduced
by one third, thus freeing up additional useable space over all the floors of the
building.

e-flex Elevator
VDI4707 regulations in several countries. Nonetheless, it is possible to further
improve efficiency: during prolonged pauses in operation, an intelligent control
system disables all non-essential components step by step until only the external
call button remains active. This sleep-mode function enables energy savings of up
to 86% in standby mode.
Developed entirely in Mstoles, synergy is the elevator designed for the buildings
of the future. The latest technology, quality and design make synergy a unique
product. Since its launch in 2007, nearly 30,000 units have been manufactured
and sold in over 60 countries.
