电梯速度可达 600米/分。
　　坐落在普纳的一家电梯公司近日宣称，其合资企业韩国现代电梯公司成功研制了世界上最快的双层电梯，速度可高达600m/分。目前，该公司计划在今年9月份完成对8台双层电梯操控系统的安置。
　　双层电梯目前被广泛的用于高层建筑中以提高效率降低能源消耗。双层电梯适用于40层以上高度的建筑，最大速度可达600米/分。而传统电梯的速度只能达到90-120米/分，同时双层电梯的效率预计可达到传统电梯的两倍之多，可见双层电梯的优势是不言而喻的。为了能更多的提升效率，双层电梯采用了仅停靠在奇数楼层的设计。
　　谈及到该创意，该公司总经理Manish Motwani说：“韩国销售量最大的电梯制造商---现代电梯公司目光长远，以自己的技术为乘客研制了最好最安全的电梯设施。双层电梯外形由两层轿厢设计，这样就可搭载两个楼层的乘客，大大提高了载客能力。
编者注：
关于双层电梯：
　　双层电梯基于两个电梯轿厢设计，可使乘客在两个相连的楼层同时使用，有效地增强了电梯的载客能力。这样的设计理念，在高层建筑中为较大客流量提供便利。从建筑学上讲，在搭载相同乘客的情况下，双层电梯与传统单层电梯相比可占据较小的建筑空间。在摩天大楼中，这样的设计能够更加有效合理地利用空间。

Hyundai Elevators to launch Double-decker elevators

Elevator can reach speeds upto 600 meters (1,968.5 feet) per minute
Pune based Kinetic's JV Partner Hyundai Elevator Company Ltd. South Korea has accomplished developing what's going to be the fastest double Decker elevator of its type in the World. Keeping the fast growing Infrastructure industry in mind Hyundai Elevators and Movement Technologies Ltd. has developed a double deck elevator capable of reaching speed of 600 meters per minute, and now it plans to complete developing an operating system capable of managing eight double deck elevators by September this year.
Double-decker elevators are generally used in tall towers to improve efficiency and bring down energy consumption. Double-decker elevators are typically used for buildings with 40 stories or more. Maximum speed of it is up to move 600 meters (1,968.5 feet) per minute - is relatively faster compared to ordinary elevators in high-rise apartments, which travel 90 to 120 meters per minute and are expected to be twice as efficient from the ordinary ones. To increase efficiency further, often double-decker elevators are programmed to stop at only even- or odd-numbered floors.
Speaking on the occasion, Managing Director, Mr. Manish Motwani said "With a vision of developing best and safest people flow experience our JV Partner Hyundai Elevator, Korea's biggest elevator maker in terms of sales, has finished the development of its own technology and one of the fastest and safest elevator of its kind. A double-decker elevator appears like two elevator cars attached to each other. As a result, the elevator visits two floors at the same time, raising the passenger capacity of the shaft."
Notes to Editor
About Double-Deck elevators
Double-deck elevators are designed with two elevator cars that are attached, one on top of the other. This allows passengers on two consecutive floors to be able to use the elevator simultaneously, significantly increasing the passenger capacity of an elevator shaft. Such a scheme can prove efficient in buildings where the volume of traffic would normally have a single elevator stopping at every floor.
Architecturally, this is important, as double-deck elevators occupy less building core space than traditional single-deck elevators do for the same level of traffic. In skyscrapers, this allows for much more efficient use of space, as the floor area required by elevators tends to be quite significant.
