Urban Express Hangzhou launched the first added elevator after-sales service center (Xixing Station) for added elevators in existing residentialareas yesterday.

Up to now 1,005 added elevators have been newly installed in Hangzhou this year, the total number reaching 1,800. Over 22,000 families benefit from this.

To better maintain and guarantee the security of those elevators in the future, Hangzhou is now exploring new models to manage them in the long run through multiple management models like establishing after-sales service center, third-party hosting, elevator insurance, etc.
