Electric vehicle manufacturer Waev is introducing additions to its aircraft ground service product line up—the all-new, fully-integrated lithium-ion battery-powered Tiger tow tug and the Taylor-Dunne Bigfoot utility vehicle series. Orders are now being accepted for both vehicles.

The California-based company acquired the Taylor-Dunne and Tiger product lines last year, and the new Tiger tug, while offering the same 60,000-pound tow capacity as its conventionally-powered predecessor models, now has the benefits of zero-emissions, the option for standard 110V charging, increased run time before recharging, and improved cold-weather performance.

The Bigfoot utility vehicle, which can be used inside as well as outdoors on airports, has a range of up to 60 miles, can carry loads up to 3,000 pounds, and has a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. It can be customized with full cabs, enclosures, and racks, as well as matching carts.

“The future of GSE is electric,” noted Waev president and CEO Keith Simon. “Electric makes sense– for the work, for safety, and for the environment. As airports and operators are prioritizing sustainability, carbon-neutral, and net-zero solutions like never before, we are bringing high performance, trusted solutions that enable this.”
