On the apron at Memmingen airport, an all-electric F110e tow tractor from Goldhofer is providing a quiet and emissions-free solution for moving aircraft to their starting and parking positions.
On December 17, Lothar Holder, CEO at Goldhofer and Head of Airport Technology, handed over the environment-friendly vehicle to Ralf Schmid, Managing Director of Flughafen Memmingen. Significantly more economical and efficient yet just as powerful as a diesel-powered tow tractor, this zero-emission model can manoeuvre aircraft of up to 120 tonnes take-off weight.
"If we are to achieve our climate neutrality target, we have to commit to a number of investments. In addition to a combined heat and power plant and a natural gas filling station, this also includes electromobility. With the introduction of an electric aircraft tow tractor, we have now taken a further step in this direction,” commented Ralf Schmid on behalf of the airport.
