Tianjin Metro Adds more than 350 Otis Elevators, Escalators on New Lines

Otis has again been selected by China’s Tianjin Metro to provide more than 350 escalators and Gen3^™ elevators for its new Line 8 and Binhai B1 Lines. This latest order takes the number of Otis units on the port city’s expanding subway network to more than 2,000.

The new Gen3^™ elevators will be connected to the Otis ONE® Internet of Things (IoT)-based platform already delivering real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance for Tianjin Metro. The digital ecosystem supports on-site service engineers who provide around-the-clock service to minimize disruption and keep passengers moving.

The 47-kilometer-long Line 8 will connect downtown administrative regions in southern Tianjin making transit between these areas faster and easier. The new Binhai B1 Line will connect 22 stations with interchange to Line 9, and will support the expansion of greater Tianjin by making mobility between Binhai and downtown areas more efficient.

Otis has been supporting Tianjin Metro with elevator and escalator equipment and service to connect and move people for nearly three decades.
