Aéro Mag unveils electric aircraft de-icing truck

MONTREAL - Aéro 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 Aéro 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 Aéro Mag team, this electrically powered de-icing truck demonstrates Aéro Mag's ongoing commitment to safety, operational efficiency, innovation and environmental protection.

Aéro 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.
