American Airlines today introduced the industry's first solar-powered ground service equipment as part of the airline's continuing commitment to a healthy environment in the communities it serves. The introduction of the new solar-powered equipment comes on the heels of last month's announcement that American Airlines became the first airline to go ``all-electric'' with applicable ground-service equipment at El Paso International Airport, a community with severe air- quality concerns.

The new solar-powered equipment includes two fueling carts at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, the first of 13 to be immediately deployed throughout American's operations in Miami, San Francisco, Chicago and San Juan, Puerto Rico. American plans to introduce more solar-powered fueling carts into service at numerous airports throughout the United States, as traditional vehicles are normally replaced.

Hey doc,

I'm just wondering if they could make an all electric tug. It would have to be one beast machine with a very big battery to push back a full 777!!!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
