MONTREAL - AĂ©ro Mag, a company specializing in integrated aircraft de-icing operations and the recovery, recycling, and reuse of de-icing products, has announced the commissioning of the world's first electrically powered aircraft de-icing truck. This truck will help reduce the company's environmental footprint by significantly reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Thanks to the performance of this Beta-type truck, 87% less GHGs will be produced, a reduction of 35 tons of CO2 per truck each year. This first will contribute to AĂ©ro Mag's strategic objective of becoming a carbon neutral company by the year 2035.
Designed and manufactured by The Vestergaard Company, in close collaboration with the AĂ©ro Mag team, this electrically powered de-icing truck demonstrates AĂ©ro Mag's ongoing commitment to safety, operational efficiency, innovation and environmental protection.
AĂ©ro Mag has developed a process to recover, recycle and reuse de-icing products used in aircraft de-icing operations, ensuring that the glycol recovers at least 99.5% of its purity and is reusable for the same purpose.
