Philadelphia International Airport was just awarded a grant for close to five hundred thousands dollars from the Environmental Protection Agency in order to but eight brand new, high efficiency shuttle buses into operation to replace the older shuttle busses that the airport is currently using. The new buses will reduce diesel emissions and make fro cleaner air and an all around healthier environment for airport employees and residents and visitors to the city.
This planned upgrade is just the latest of many in airports all over the country who are taking the initiative and the necessary steps to become less dependent on fossil fuels and friendlier to the environment. The improvements and upgrades aren’t just being made in the area of transportation vehicles; many airports are upgrading their ground equipment to battery powered aircraft tugs, adding solar panels to supply power and changing to more efficient lighting systems.
Battery powered aircraft tugs, like those offered by Lindbergh Aircraft Tug Company, are not only friendlier to the environment than older tugs and lifts that are powered by propane or gasoline, they are also much easier for ground crew employees to operate. Aircraft tugs from Lindy are smaller than older styles of tug and they allow ground crew employees to make sharp turns and easily navigate their way inside of a crowded hangar or around busy staging ramps.
The aircraft tugs from Lindy are also built with reliability and ease of use in mind, Lindbergh makes convenient aircraft tug solutions that can allow a single ground crew member to easily handle an airplane that weighs up to thirty five thousand pounds and these tugs can handle rough or rocky terrain and less than favorable weather conditions with no problems at all. If you are looking to make upgrades that will reduce emissions and make for a cleaner and healthier atmosphere for employees and customers, but that will also help to increase the efficiency of your operation, battery powered aircraft tugs are a perfect solution
