Collaboration to Provide Opportunities for a Successful Transition to Zero-Emission Airport Fleets
DULLES, VA (08/05/2021) (readMedia)-- Avports and REVO ZERO today announced an agreement to implement zero-emissions vehicle solutions for airports and the aviation community. This partnership builds on Avports' and REVO ZERO ongoing efforts to protect the environment by transitioning to a carbon-neutral operating environment, a trailblazing move within the aviation industry. The announcement shows Avports' and REVO ZERO's .
Jorge Roberts, CEO of Avports said, "As we have adapted to the ever-changing circumstances of the pandemic, there is another looming crisis this industry must adapt to, and that's climate change. The future of air travel is one that has to be environmentally friendly and sustainable. By collaborating with REVO ZERO to provide zero-emission vehicle solutions, we are acting on our community leadership values and ESG (environmental, social and governance) objectives. We are dedicated to working towards carbon-free travel on behalf of our customers and the communities we serve."
Ruben Creus, CEO of REVO ZERO said, "A century ago, aviation revolutionized the world and changed our lifestyle forever, but now it is time to revolutionize the aviation industry and move it towards a zero-emission reality. The joint-effort of our companies will bring clean and sustainable solutions to the aviation industry and make our skies healthier for all of us."
Airports require extensive use of vehicles and machinery for day-to-day aviation operations and primarily use fossil fuel based fleets. Thanks to this alliance, Avports and REVO ZERO will now be able to provide a convenient way for airport owners, authorities and stakeholders to manage their roadmap efficiently and transition to a more sustainable fleet of vehicles at their airports. This would include the offering of a catalog of several zero-emission vehicles, both new and certified pre-owned, including:
Battery-powered Electric Vehicles (BEV)
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (Hydrogen) (FCEV)
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)
Plug-in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (PFC EV)
The service would include the access to the vehicles "as a service," with airport equipment, maintenance and licenses included, plus the charging infrastructure and a market-based recharging fee scheme.
To move towards decarbonization, the adoption of carbon-neutral aviation solutions is necessary for a clean and emission-free future. Airports across the country will soon have the ability to lease airport-ready zero-emission electric vehicles for their operations that are safe, efficient and reliable.
