Overview

We are working with airlines and ground handling companies as they move to electrify their ground service equipment fleets. Over 1,000 pieces of equipment will be replaced with electrified alternatives and 50 electric vehicle-charging stations will be installed for the airlines at each terminal. Conversion to electric equipment will reduce emissions by nearly 178,000 tons of CO₂ over the lifetime of the equipment.
