EOX saves energy and causes fewer emissions

Eco-efficiency and technology can go hand in hand, and EOX proves it. With its regenerative drive and innovative eco-mode it actively saves energy in your buildings. And thanks to clever engineering, our European manufacturing and digitally augmented services, fewer CO2 emissions are produced because of it.

EOX also has a certified Environmental Product Declaration giving information about the environmental performance and contents, which has been controlled and verified according to the requirements of the International EPD® System. Registration number: S-P-08258.

Reaping the energy benefits

Regenerative drive as a standard

With EOX, a VVVF regenerative drive 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 electricity consumers. It’s most effective when the elevator is going down fully loaded, or up with an empty cabin, ideally travelling several floors in one go.

Unique eco-mode

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.

Green – from start to finish

Made in Europe – sustainably

EOX is produced in Europe, where TK Elevator’s factories run on 100% green electricity. Sustainability is ingrained at every step of the way, including the choice of suppliers and their compliance with our Code of Conduct.

Class A certified and documented

EOX achieves Class A energy efficiency, according to ISO 25745-2. An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Health Product Declaration (HPD) are publicly available.

Detailed energy report

Through the online customer portal, EOX owners can create a detailed energy consumption report of the elevator including stats about the energy recuperated through the regenerative drive.

BREEAM in a breeze

A dedicated calculator for building certificates like BREEAM makes EOX an easy candidate for your next green building project.

Engineering + digitalisation = reduced emissions

Less fuel for transport

A standard 630 kg, 5 stops EOX configuration weights 300 kg less than our previous comparable offering. This engineering achievement is the equivalent of the weight of a grizzly bear; shipping a bear less with every elevator will result in 10% less fuel needed for the average transport from our factory to a construction site.

Reduced energy consumption

Because EOX is lighter and packed with energy-saving features such as the regenerative drive and unique eco-mode, it will consume up to 28% less electricity to move the cabin up and down in low-rise residential buildings with typical traffic volumes.

Fewer unscheduled visits

While we have initiated the move to electric and hybrid vehicles, the most effective saving is the trip not taken. Thanks to our cloud-based smart maintenance which is proven to actively prevents breakdowns, EOX means an up to 50% reduction in unscheduled visits by our service technicians.

Please note: All comparisons regarding energy and weight reductions are made with TK Elevator’s previous standard configuration for elevators in the same segment. Carbon footprint reduction refers to embodied carbon.
