Schindler and Solar Impulse -
joining forces today to address the challenges of tomorrow
As one of the four main partners of Solar Impulse, Schindler is at the forefront of efforts to develop future technologies facilitating clean and sustainable mobility. Schindler is benefiting from the cooperation between its engineers and the researchers and technical experts from leading technology firms and will apply the insights it gains to its own future technological developments.
The demands relating to mobility are growing, while energy resources are becoming scarcer and more expensive. Schindler and Solar Impulse share a common goal: to develop cutting-edge technologies and exploit their full potential to devise new approaches.
Solar Impulse is a groundbreaking initiative: the aircraft, which has the wingspan of an Airbus A340 but is around 100 times lighter, will attempt to circle the globe in a non-stop flight in 2014 – travelling day and night without fuel and with sunlight as its only source of energy.
Schindler is constantly setting new standards in the elevator industry with its innovative technology – particularly in the area of maximum energy efficiency. Examples include the machine room-less elevator, the hall call destination system, the drive without steel ropes and PORT technology, as well as the solar elevator.
