Swissport recently announced that it will invest over 15 billion euros in the next five years in the field of environmental protection technologies, including the research and application of electric ground support equipment (GSE) and renewable energy. This investment plan is an important measure taken by the company to fulfill its commitment to sustainable development, aiming to fully achieve its goal of making 55% of its ground support equipment electric by 2032.
The CEO of Swissport, Warwick Brady, said: "We are fulfilling our commitment to sustainable development through practical actions. This investment in environmental protection technologies is a crucial step, demonstrating our industry-leading position in sustainable development and innovation. Over the next five years, we will build the world's largest fleet of electric ground support equipment. Our firm commitment to clean energy will also help reduce global supply chain emissions and support airline customers in achieving their climate goals."
In the past 18 months, Swissport has purchased over 1,000 new hybrid and electric ground support vehicles and deployed these devices in 28 countries. The company currently operates the world's largest ground support equipment fleet, with approximately 14,500 mobile devices, and currently 25% of its ground support equipment has been electrified.
Swissport stated that the newly deployed equipment is diverse, including electric luggage trolleys, conveyor belt loaders, passenger boarding stairs, and aircraft traction vehicles. These devices are jointly launched with top manufacturers through long-term cooperation agreements, and the company added that these collaborations "ensure the continuous supply, stable quality, and optimal operational performance of the equipment."
