The TE.208 baggage/tow tractor is a battery-powered, four-wheel towing vehicle with enough power to provide a superior alternative to a full-size baggage tractor for those operations that don't require one. The unit is a compact, highly maneuverable vehicle, which allows easy access to the operators compartment with good front and rear visibility. A low center of gravity provides excellent stability. There are currently over 1,000 of these units operating in the field today. The unit is capable of a top running speed of 9 mph (14.4 km/h) when empty with a drawbar pull of over 1,100 lbs. (499 kg). The operator’s compartment contains all the controls and indicators necessary to drive the unit including foot-operated accelerator pedal, directional lever, keyless power switch, light switch, and horn switch. The battery connector is located for convenient power disconnects.
