The South Korean government announced it would outsource a study on the introduction of eco-friendly airport ground vehicles to replace existing ones.
Presently, diesel special vehicles are used for most of the ground activities in the airport, including airplane towing, passenger boarding, and cargo unloading.
Over 3,000 special vehicles are operating at airports across South Korea, with 754 or 24 percent of the total being older than 20 years.
South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation will up new safety, management, and emissions inspection standards for airport ground vehicles after checking their operational condition and air pollutant emission levels.
Charging infrastructure for eco-friendly vehicles at airports will be also expanded.
The ministry also plans to introduce an ‘equipment sharing system’ in which airport operators directly purchase high-priced eco-friendly ground equipment and lend them to ground vehicle operators.
The ministry is seeking to ease congestion at workplaces that can be caused by equipment redundancy, as well as to reduce carbon emissions by introducing eco-friendly equipment.
