E-quipment highlight: Tiger electric baggage tug hauls 30 TONS [video]
Reported byElectrek ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The Tiger Li-Ion electric baggage tug, made by Waev, hauls 60,000 pounds of cargo per operation and will save fleet operators more than $19,000 per year in fuel costs per tug while eliminating 3.5 tons of carbon emissions annually per vehicle, addressing the massive energy demand of airport ground handling equipment.
Cost savings and emissions reductions are per-tug projections from the manufacturer; the device launched in 2022 and is now being deployed, but widespread adoption rates are not detailed in the article.
