Schindler and Solar Impulse partner to power sustainable mobility

Route optimization

Shared passion for innovationJust as Solar Impulse is testing the limits of human exploration with the first round-the-world solar flight, Schindler is pushing the boundaries of how we view mobility in the cities of tomorrow. This shared culture of innovation and pioneering spirit makes the two natural partners and is the force that drives their tireless pursuit of more sustainable mobility.

As demands on mobility grow and fuel resources dwindle and become more expensive, mankind’s future lies in using clean, sustainable energy from renewable sources. Schindler’s destination-dispatching system , machine room-less elevators , regenerative drives and variable speed escalator technology are industry benchmarks in innovation.

This long-standing commitment to trailblazing technology that safely moves more people with less energy is one we share with Solar Impulse.
