Hyundai Elevator complète son centre de recherche et développement avec une tour d'essai

Hyundai Elevator, le plus grand fabricant d'ascenseurs de Corée, a annoncé l'achèvement de son nouveau centre de R&D à Chungju, dans la province du Chungcheong du Nord, en Corée du Sud, élargissant ainsi ses capacités d'innovation. Le Korea Herald reports. The Hyundai Asan Tower, which integrates laboratories and a test facility, consolidates all the company's previously scattered research functions into a single location near its headquarters. The new R&D center includes a three-story laboratory facility named after the late chair, which will house the company’s expanded research staff, now totaling 160 full-time personnel. The centerpiece of the complex is a 250-m test tower that can test up to 19 elevators simultaneously, including Hyundai’s high-speed model traveling at 1,260 m/min, and systems for free-fall safety testing. The new tower ranks among the world’s top three elevator test towers in terms of height and is 45 m taller than the company’s previous test facility in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, the company added.
