OUR MARKETS
AIRPORT GSE
CARWATT’s technology is particularly suited to GSE (Ground Support Equipment) at airports. This includes all the vehicles surrounding planes on the tarmac: from belt loaders and passenger stairs to aircraft pushers, loaders and refuellers.
For this context, the aim is to reduce the polluting emissions from vehicles making short trips at low speeds.
A reference: Air France – belt loaders
INDUSTRIAL & SPECIAL VEHICLES
CARWATT’s technology is perfectly suited to fleets of industrial and special vehicles with a high added value, namely:
- In urban areas, waste disposal trucks, buses, delivery vehicles…
- At ports, tractors and locotractors…
Furthermore, using 2nd life batteries makes this solution economically viable.
WATERWAYS
CARWATT’s technology is well suited to waterway vessels, namely, tourist excursion boats, cargo barges
Furthermore, using 2nd life batteries makes this solution economically viable.
Safari
CARWATT’s technology is well suited to safari vehicles, which drive slowly over quite short distances. This allows them to approach animals without frightening them.
Furthermore, using 2nd life batteries makes this solution economically viable.
In an extremely sunny context, wildlife parks for instance, the batteries can be recharged using solar panels.
Reference project: e-Motion safari vehicle.

Air France et CARWATT – electrification of loader belts (February 2019)
An example of our circular economy approach in action, with Air France at Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris: a second life for belt loaders with 2nd life Li-ion batteries from the automotive sector.
Air France is integrating sustainable development into its activities and operations.
