(CercleFinance.com) - Finnish lift maker Kone said on Thursday that it has won an order to equip line 3 of the Wuxi Metro in the southern part of China's Jiangsu Province, although did not unveil the value of the deal.


Kone will supply the metro line with 99 TransitMaster heavy-duty escalators which have a maximum transport capacity of 7,300 people per hour, it said.

Trial operations are expected to start in mid-2020, Kone said.
