This €4m investment makes Airpro the first ground handling company in Finland to offer electric deicing services.
It also makes Helsinki Airport the first airport in the Nordics and fourth in the world to have electric deicers.
"This investment emphasizes our dedication to creating high-quality green ground handling for our customers. There would have been more affordable diesel units in the market, but even in these challenging times in our industry, we want to continue according to our fleet strategy and focus on energy and emission efficiency in all our GSE. Elephant e-BETA deicers with its new technology answers our needs perfectly," says Acting Managing Director Joona Hurmerinta from Airpro.
Vestergaard Elephant e-BETA deicer is unique in the GSE industry, and after final testing last year, it is now in use in a few locations globally.
“We are thrilled about Airpro’s desire to provide electric ground handling solutions to their customers. The new Elephant e-BETA technology reduces greenhouse gasses and sound emissions and creates better working conditions for the personnel, which has always been an important value for us in Vestergaard. One of the things we share with Airpro," says Sales & Marketing Vice President Lars Barsøe from Vestergaard Company.
