The company is providing full, ongoing service and maintenance support, to ensure the high availability levels that are required for operational performance at one of the UK’s major regional airports.

Having reached its carbon neutral goal four years ahead of schedule in 2021, Bristol Airport is now focused on becoming net zero airport operations by 2030. There are many elements of the airport’s operations that will contribute to achieving this target, including the electrification of its fleet, which includes transit buses, ground handling and security vehicles, and the availability of a reliable charging infrastructure network.

As Bristol Airport’s airside electric fleet grows, the EV charging infrastructure programme is also expanding, with the latest phase seeing Yunex Traffic supply and commission rapid DC chargers, which will service the airport’s current requirements. These chargers are in addition to several Alfen AC units that Yunex Traffic has already installed, both airside and landside.

The latest Efacec 60 kW DC charger provides a future-proof, modular charging solution, with the option to simply upgrade the units to 90kW or 120kW charging to meet the future needs of the airport’s growing fleet, or high voltage electric vehicles.
