Introducing e-Tow Tractor for Sustainable Pushback Operations

Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company (HAECO) has introduced e-tow tractors for pushback operations at HKIA, making it one of the pioneers in adopting this technology at the airport.  In July, the first pushback using an e-tow tractor was successfully performed on an Airbus A330-300.

This technology enables HAECO to achieve a CO2e reduction of up to 126 tonnes per year when in full operation. As part of its ongoing commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, HAECO plans to introduce two more e-tractors next year.
