Airport GSE
Airport baggage tug fleet electrified with 80V LFP
- Application
- International airport apron operations
- Equipment
- 32 × baggage tugs and 6 × aircraft tow tractors
The challenge
The airport ran a mix of diesel and lead-acid tugs that struggled with bank-after-bank turnaround and triggered apron emission limits at the new terminal.
Our solution
Wattrae supplied 80V / 450Ah LFP packs with aviation-grade BMS and 100A high-rate chargers. Diesel tugs were retrofitted to electric drivetrains; lead-acid tugs were converted in place.
Results
-
Zero local emissions on apron
-
Bank turnaround time held even at peak season
-
Battery rooms with hydrogen vents removed
-
Cell-level telemetry for proactive maintenance
