ELECTRIC REFUELING VEHICLES
A World First in Jet Fuel Supply
As Turkish Fuel Services, we have achieved a significant milestone with the electrification of our jet fuel refueling vehicles operating on the apron at Istanbul Airport, through a project developed in collaboration with our local partners. To date, by converting 50 vehicles to electric, we have reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 3,625 tons.
In the transformation of electric vehicles, Önderyol and Katmerciler companies from Turkey played a role as responsible stakeholders.
An Exemplary Project in Domestic Know-How Development
The project is the first among global jet fuel companies and was shared with members at the IATA Technical Forum. Thanks to this project we have realized, know-how has been acquired in the field of industrial electric vehicle transformation in Turkey and has contributed to the reduction of environmental and noise pollution and energy consumption.
With this project, TFS has realized an exemplary project in the electrification processes of industrial vehicles in Turkey.
TFS Green for the Environment:
TFS Management, who stated that they will continue to increase environmentally sensitive applications and that this project is only the beginning, stated that more than 650,000 replenishments have been made with electric dispensaries since April 2019. Among all replenishments, the rate of replenishments with electric dispensaries was 97%. With the project:
- 5385 tonnes less CO2 emissions in total
- 1024 m3 less diesel consumption per year
- Noise pollution prevention was achieved.
