16 6TH ASIAN GROUND HANDLING INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: THE EXHIBITORS AEROVIRONMENT
AeroVironment has developed a suite of technical features that are safer, smarter, easier to use and more cost-effective than traditional charging systems. PosiCharge brings to market a next-generation intelligent rapid charging battery system for ground support equipment and other electric vehicle applications. Many of these vehicles are used almost continuously in two or three shift operations and may use multiple batteries to realise throughput requirements. PosiCharge, an alternative to battery changing, signifi cantly reduces capital costs, labour costs and non-productive space allocations, thereby effectively redefi ning the electric GSE industry. Companies like American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta, United, Menzies, Ford and Toyota have already adopted PosiCharge.
