MAJOR PROJECTS
in terms of cost ? JJ : KONE UltraRope TM technology can reduce the total cost of ownership thanks to many benefits : – reduction on energy consumption , reduction of downtime caused by building sway , longer lifetime of ropes themselves . As the cost of the UltraRope TM goes down we expect it to be used as an alternative also in low-rise buildings .
CG : When do you hope for UltraRope TM to be used in actual buildings ? Any talks ongoing or any sales already ? References for KONE UltraRope :
