Regenerative Drives
Reducing impact through innovation

Our regenerative drive technology increases energy savings by capturing

power that is generated but unused and transferring it back into the building’s
electrical grid.

Each time an elevator is in use, energy is needed to raise or

lower the cab, but when a cab is moving, the force of gravity Installing a ThyssenKrupp Elevator
