KONE has been selected to deliver 71 escalators and 40 elevators to Beijing's first magnetic levitation train line. The order includes 71 KONE TransitMaster™ escalators and 40 KONE MonoSpace® elevators for eight stations along the S1 line. The 20-kilometer low-noise line will be located in the less developed western parts of Beijing.

"We are honored to be a part of easing the traffic congestion and improving People Flow® in western Beijing. KONE's expertise of People Flow in mass transit has already been widely received in infrastructure projects in China, for example in such stunning architectural masterpieces as Beijing Capital Airport T3 Terminal, Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway and Hongqiao Integrated Transportation Hub," says William B. Johnson, Managing Director of KONE China.

The maglev line is expected to open for operation in 2013. The order was booked in the fourth quarter of 2011.
