The Green Taxi System reduces aircraft fuel consumption and carbon emissions during ground operations by allowing aircraft to taxi without using their main jet engines. Electric motors located on the landing gear wheels powered by the existing Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) allows the plane to move forward or backwards with normal steering and braking by the pilot. Green Taxi is a breakthrough innovation reducing carbon footprint emissions, reducing fuel use, increasing brake life, improving on-time performance and other saving direct and indirect aircraft ground operating costs.
