Airport Vehicles
The world of ground support equipment includes a wide array of vehicles: from GPU to tow tractors, pushback tractors, belt loaders, PRM platforms, and passenger stairs. Just like on a building site, these units contribute to the shared goal of delivering rapid transfers and movements, the highest levels of safety, and highly efficient airport operations.
A dynamic environment which comes up against the limitations of traditional technologies and where electrification with Flash Battery lithium batteries offer the perfect solution for delivering ever leaner and more flexible operations, whilst fully complying with global sustainability targets.
How Flash Battery Lithium Batteries met the needs of the airport industry
Thanks to the advanced contorl electronics and a made-to-measure consultancy service, Flash Battery has been working with the leading airport OEMs since 2012, devising customised lithium batteries that make airport vehicles flexible and autonomous, in all weather conditions.
Fast charging for non-stop use!
The fast charging capability of Flash Battery lithium batteries extends the daily range of vehicles, allowing them to be used continuously. The proprietary balancing system (BMS), Flash Balancing System, delivers battery efficiency and record balancing times.
Short charging times
Full charge in just 2 hours
Partial charges and discharges
increase operating range
Balancing times
under 30 minutes
Smart electronic monitoring for battery efficiency
The patented Flash Battery BMS, the Flash Balancing System, guarantees the battery pack's stability of performance over time, delivering efficient thermal management, preventing faults, and conducting self-diagnostics and predictive maintenance.

A choice that delivers long-term financial benefits!
The initial purchase price does not give the full picture of the overall financial investment involved in choosing lithium batteries. The Total Cost of Ownership calculation shows that the initial cost is offset in the long term by the massive reduction in maintenance costs and the energy balance.
High energy efficiency
above 96%
Long service life
> 4,000 charge cycles
Zero maintenance
and a significant reduction in operating costs
Tailor-made solutions from 24 to over 800V
Designing fully bespoke solutions is at the heart of our approach. Before giving the go-ahead on any project, we jointly analyse all of the necessary specifications in order to ensure that we can offer you the right battery for your electric airport vehicle.

The best Lithium Battery for tow tractors and other airport vehicles
Thanks to the functionality and the proprietary lithium technology, Flash Battery is the perfect solution for a wide range of airport vehicles: versatile and reliable all throughout its life cycle, offering the best performance in the industrial lithium batteries category.
Lithium batteries for tow tractors
Tow tractors used in airports need range and high power when towing. Unrestricted operation, no maintenance, and fast charging are the main requirements that Flash Battery fulfils through a patented Battery Management System (BMS), the result of decades of experience in the industrial electrification sector.
Lithium batteries for GPU (Ground Power Units)
As these units are used for many hours a day, electric GPUs help to improve air quality in airports by being considerably more efficient than the internal combustion equivalents. With its advanced industrial know-how, Flash Battery brings considerable added value as GPUs require high-voltage lithium batteries which are highly customised and offer remote diagnostics capability.
Lithium batteries for Ground Support Equipment
Thanks to its wealth of experience in the airport sector and a bespoke consultancy-based approach, Flash Battery designs customised lithium batteries to meet the specific needs of each vehicle. In addition, the proprietary Flash Data Center remote monitoring system helps to eliminate machine stoppages and optimise energy efficiency thanks to self-diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
TECHNOLOGY
Lithium battery technology for airport vehicles
Embrace the challenge of electrification for your airport vehicles: whether you want to electrify a tow tractor, a GPU, or a wide array of ground support equipment (GSE), Flash Battery lithium battery technology is your partner for maximising the key features of your vehicles, to deliver an increasingly green, efficient, and flexible airport.
