About one year ago, we experienced a complete power outage across the Iberian Peninsula. I remember a friend, (Ivan Bouzada Rodríguez), summarising that day in a simple but powerful way: “There were two types of passengers — those travelling on a Gen2 Switch, and the others.” That statement stayed with me. It highlights how technology can truly make a difference when it matters most — not only for users, but also for building owners, service teams, and the environment. Reliability, safety and sustainability are no longer optional; they are essential.

About one year ago, we experienced a complete power outage across the Iberian Peninsula.

I remember a friend, (Ivan Bouzada Rodríguez), summarising that day in a simple but powerful way:

“There were two types of passengers — those travelling on a Gen2 Switch, and the others.”

That statement stayed with me.

It highlights how technology can truly make a difference when it matters most — not only for users, but also for building owners, service teams, and the environment. Reliability, safety and sustainability are no longer optional; they are essential.

Personally, I’ve always been a strong believer in the value that the Gen2 Switch brings to all stakeholders.

And now, Otis has taken it one step further.

With the launch of the Gen3 Switch, we continue to innovate and raise the bar for smarter, more efficient and more resilient mobility solutions.

If you have two minutes, I invite you to watch this video and judge for yourself.
