TaxiBot is controlled by the pilot of the aircraft as the tractor tows the plane from the terminal to the runway. Because this is done without the use of the aircraft’s engines, a significant amount of jet fuel is preserved. Powered by a hybrid of electric and diesel engines, TaxiBot provides additional green benefits.
