Casting a glance into the future of mobility: thyssenkrupp shows ropeless MULTI in the German Pavilion at EXPO 2020 Dubai (FOTO)

Essen/Dubai (ots) -

When EXPO 2020 opens its doors in Dubai in October 2020, the
world's first ropeless elevator for skyscrapers will be featured
prominently. thyssenkrupp Elevator's pioneering system was selected
as one of the EXPO's lighthouse projects, and will be presented by
the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy in the
German Pavilion.

"Dubai is a city that provides a platform for inventions,
attracting people and businesses from around the world. MULTI will
support this aim, demonstrating to those at EXPO 2020 how technology
can improve urban mobility", says Peter Walker, CEO at thyssenkrupp
Elevator.

The MULTI revolution changes the way people move inside buildings,
providing completely new perspectives for architects, real estate
owners and passengers. By employing linear motors for each cabin, no
ropes are needed at all - and MULTI can move vertically as well as
horizontally. Without ropes, MULTI enables the construction of much
higher buildings in cities. As it requires fewer shafts, valuable
floor space is freed up for apartments.

At EXPO 2020, MULTI will demonstrate how various transportation
solutions, from underground logistics to air-taxis, can be
interconnected with ropeless elevators. Skybridges powered by the
horizontally-moving MULTI will lift passenger transportation to a
whole new level.

MULTI was unveiled in 2017 at thyssenkrupp's 800-foot tall,
state-of-the-art test tower in Rottweil, Germany. The innovation is
currently undergoing testing and certification in Rottweil.
