???? The Goldhofer PHOENIX® E aircraft tow tractor represents a significant leap forward in sustainable aviation ground support. Powered by cutting-edge 700 V lithium-ion battery technology, it can effortlessly tow passenger aircraft with a take-off weight of up to 352 tons, including wide-body aircraft. The tractor delivers impressive speeds of up to 32 kilometres per hour while maintaining consistent, high tractive power. Its advanced design allows for continuous, emission-free operation through efficient short intermediate charging, ensuring reliable round-the-clock service.

???? A key feature of the PHOENIX® E is its range extender, which provides the flexibility to operate with diesel in exceptional circumstances, ensuring the vehicle remains functional even during extended periods without charging. This hybrid capability, however, is seldom needed, as the tractor’s primary energy source is the lithium-ion battery, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional diesel-powered units.

???? By minimising both environmental impact and downtime, this innovative vehicle contributes to the aviation industry’s ongoing efforts to reduce its carbon emissions and promote greener, more sustainable practices in ground operations.
