More and more investments are being made in the green conversion of airports through the electrification of a growing number of applications as diverse as GPUs, tow tractors, pushback,beltloaders, ambulifts and passenger stairs to name a few, to meet the ambitious challenges of the European Green Deal, which sees airports drastically reducing their emissions by 2030.
In this article, Ground Handling InternationaI discussed with Flash Battery Business Development Manger, Elisabetta Orlandi, the current trends towards the electrification of the GSE sector and the main needs of OEMs in this field which our partner addresses with its customised LFP lithium battery solutions.
“We see the electrification trend happening across the globe in airports at all levels. The total cost of ownership is convincing ground handlers, and OEMs to purchase lithium battery-powered machines over their diesel and lead-acid counterparts. Our growth in the segment, which has increased by 40% since 2019 confirms these trends, expecting another 30% boost this year. We are growing fast and we want to become an active promoter of the current transition".
