With EOX, a regenerative drive (VVVF) is standard. Smaller and more compact than previous versions, it enables energy to be recouped when the elevator is braking, and feeds it back into the building’s grid where it can be used by other elevators or consumers or electricity. It's most effective when the elevator is going up fully loaded, or down with an empty cabin, ideally travelling several floors in one go.
In addition to the standard sleep and stand-by modes, EOX has a feature unique to the residential segment – eco-mode. It “learns” traffic patterns in the building, and adjusts accordingly. During low traffic times, the elevator’s speed and acceleration are reduced to 80% of nominal values (and can be further adjusted to preferences). An active eco-mode status is highlighted to passengers in the cabin display.
