SEPANG, Oct 16 (Bernama) — Ground Team Red (GTR), the ground-handling joint venture between SATS Ltd (SATS) and AirAsia, is taking a significant step towards sustainability and innovation by trialling two Hangcha Aviation Tractor Model QSD320-XD3-MAI electric vehicle (EV) that have been leased into their ground handling operations. This transformative move underscores GTR’s commitment to reducing its environmental footprint, enhancing efficiency, and embracing environmentally friendly practices.
The two new EV tractors will be tested at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 (KLIA Terminal 2) as part of its long-term plans in reducing carbon emission by not being heavily dependent on the current fleet of diesel-powered tractors to run their operations, on top of optimising operational costs, and enhancing the overall airport experience to its growing list of airline and cargo customers.
