Gen3 Elevator Gets 1st Repeat Customer in China

Jilin Longchang Property Developer Company was one of the first customers for the new Gen3™ elevator in China when it ordered 110 units in June for a high-end residential complex of 300,000 square meters being built in Jilin province.

Now the company is the first repeat Gen3 elevator customer, after it placed a second order for an additional 123 Gen3 elevator systems for four more projects – three commercial and one residential – in northeast China.

The digitally native Gen3 elevator launched in China in June. It is designed around a digital ecosystem and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, and has Otis ONE™ connectivity built in to allow around-the-clock performance monitoring – enabling predictive maintenance and remote service. The Gen3 elevator is built on the proven flat-belt technology of Otis’s best-selling Gen2 elevator for improved ride comfort and energy efficiency.

“Gen 3 represents our shared future and vision for the seamless urban journey,” said Otis China President Perry Zheng. “Strong customer traction reaffirms the Gen3 elevator’s new value – advancing elevator uptime and safety protection for passengers as core to a smart building ecosystem.”

Making it the ideal choice for modern developments, the Gen3 elevator also incorporates the Otis in-car display and Cab Air Purifier for enhanced passenger wellbeing, as well as the Otis ReGen™ drive, LED lighting and sleep mode to help reduce energy usage.
