The vehicles have been rolled out at the airline’s major bases including Berlin Brandenburg, London Luton, Bristol and Liverpool Airport
Replacing older petrol and diesel-fuelled vans with new electric vans will see easyJet reduce its engineering fleet emissions by 28%
This is part of a wider fleet renewal programme which will be implemented at all easyJet engineering bases across the UK and Europe.
Speaking on the initiative, Jane Ashton, Director of Sustainability said: “After a successful, small-scale trial at Berlin Airport last year, which saw the conversion of a number of maintenance vehicles to electric our immediate step was to expand on a much bigger scale across our UK and European bases.This small but critical move will help us further reduce the impact of our ground operations and we continue to try and find new ways to do this every day through the integration of operational efficiencies including fleet renewal both for aircraft and maintenance vehicles as well as fleet optimisation through various new technologies.”
