Metro de Madrid, one of the largest metro systems in the world, has placed orders for three major projects with KONE involving installations or modernizations of a total of 94 KONE heavy-duty escalators and 38 KONE MonoSpace® machine-room-less elevators.

It shows the trust our customers place in KONE's solutions and project management skills in major public transportation projects," comments KONE Executive Vice President, West and South Europe, Eric Maziol.
