Electra Commercial Vehicles collaborates on airport refuelling vehicle development

Electra’s modular design and progressive engineering team worked closely with Air bp and Fluid Transfer to deliver this project under a tight deadline. The first vehicle has been deployed at Cannes Airport, with more expected to be operational across the UK and Europe soon.

Electra has integrated several unique safety elements in collaboration with Air bp. These innovations enhance operational safety and could potentially be adopted in the wider market. The development of this electric air refuelling vehicle is a response to stringent emission reduction targets set by governments worldwide. It offers airlines a viable solution to meet these environmental goals.

“This is another significant step forward for Electra,” said Ben Smith, Managing Director of Electra Commercial Vehicles. “By collaborating with companies dedicated to clean transportation solutions, we can accelerate the adoption of our technology and transform the way aircraft are refuelled.”

Electra’s recent move to a larger facility has increased its manufacturing capacity, positioning the company to meet growing demand for zero-emission vehicles. With its ability to incorporate unique customer features, Electra is well-placed to lead in the zero-emission vehicle market.

“This collaboration marks a major advancement for Electra,” adds Smith. “Combining expertise from various fields with our electric vehicle technology, we are poised to revolutionise aircraft refuelling.”
