Lower Fuel Burn - As taxi operations burn a significant amount of fuel--as much as five million tons of fuel per year for short-haul aircraft--the electric green taxiing system can result in savings of up to 4% of total block fuel consumption.Improved On Time Performance - Aircraft equipped with the system will be able to "pushback and go" more quickly, thus reducing both gate and tarmac congestion, improving on-time departure performance and saving valuable time on the ground.Greener Operation - The electric green taxiing system greatly reduces engine emissions, resulting in lower carbon taxes.Added Value - System operation eliminates the need for aircraft pushback and aircraft repositioning via tug tractor while also reducing brake wear, extending main engine life, enhancing ground crew safety, and reducing noise in the airport environment.
