Together, GM and PCS have developed an integrated driveline, specifically designed for Textron GSE products, that utilizes GM’s lithium-ion battery systems.
The high-voltage lithium-ion battery systems to be used in Textron GSE products offer numerous advantages compared to low-voltage systems, including faster charging, longer range between charges, higher operating efficiency and improvements to electronic features like HVAC and advanced driver-assistance systems.
“This technology, designed especially for ground support operations, will enable Textron GSE to broaden its electric product offerings across our TUG, Premier, Douglas and Safeaero brands, and elevate electrification across our entire industry,” said Matt Chaffin, vice president and general manager, GSE for Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc.
“We are committed to advancing the GSE industry by developing sustainable technologies and leveraging leading technology to electrify the next generation of ground support equipment.”
“We are excited to integrate GM’s proven electrification product with Textron GSE’s world-class ground support offerings,” said Dan Boucher, president of PCS.
