MITSUBISHI ELEVATOR ORDER FOR LAOS GOVERNMENT BUILDING

MELCO Elevator Lao Sole Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Elevator (Thailand) Co., Ltd., won an order to supply 14 elevators and four escalators to the new National Assembly building under construction in Vientiane, Laos, Mitsubishi Electric announced. Replacing an assembly building built in 1991, the new, 35,000-m2 building will have six floors, including one below ground. It will be served by NEXIEZ-MR elevators and Z type escalators. Mitsubishi Electric observes the equipment is energy efficient, with the elevators using a gearless traction machine with a permanent-magnet motor and the escalators equipped with an user-detection sensor that means the units operate only when being used.
