Farmington’s Otis Elevator Co. is introducing a simpler, plug-in lift also capable of being powered by the sun, and has a backup battery in the event the power goes out.
Otis says its trademarked Gen2 elevator is rolling out to customers in the U.S., Europe, India, South East Asia, and Central and South America.
Otis claims the Gen2 consumes less energy and is up to 75 percent more efficient than traditional elevators.
Otis is a division of Hartford conglomerate United Technologies Corp.
