Help Achieve Mission-Zero Carbon Emissions With An Electric Powered FOD Sweeping System

/in /by
The world’s leaders recently met in Glasgow during COP26 to discuss carbon reduction initiatives and targets. A range of industries were identified where specific action is needed, including the mining industry. The aviation sector also has a role to play, although airport decarbonisation plans may need a longer-term perspective.
 
However, unless we start looking into how we can achieve specific targets through our decisions today, the net-zero carbon objective can become challenging to achieve.
 
So, how can we act now to reap benefits in the short term? The answer is the choice of FOD sweeping technology being used. Let’s look specifically at “gas-guzzling” truck-based mechanical sweepers. We have a net-zero carbon alternative available today that is more effective, faster and can produce cost-of-ownership savings of up to 95% per month! Motorised or fuel-powered mechanical sweepers are well known for being large and expensive, but they also produce a significant amount of carbon. A typical sweeper truck produces 7,946 (g/km) of carbon, while a typical utility vehicle produces about 213 (g/km). However, a fully electric vehicle and FOD*BOSS combination produce zero carbon emissions!

Looking to improve airside safety, efficiency, and reduce costs?

/in /by
As the aviation industry is looking to open up again in a post-pandemic world, everyone is looking to see how they can save costs without risking safety.  When it comes to sweeping your AOAs for Foreign Object Debris (FOD), the FOD*BOSS is not only the most effective FOD sweeping system available, it is also the safest and most cost-effective!  The most dangerous debris cannot be seen with the naked eye, but The FOD*BOSS Sweeper will find it!
 
Sweeping your airfield clean, increasing productivity, and ensuring you have the safest airside work environments are key to reducing expenses at a time when airports and airlines are struggling to rebuild in a post-pandemic aviation world.  In this newsletter, you can learn how the FOD*BOSS Sweeper can provide the cleanest possible tarmac surface, improve airside safety, and at the same time reduce your operating expenses.  (3 Min Read)

FOD Removal & The FOD*BOSS®

/in /by

FOD removal should be just that: removal.  The FOD*BOSS is a FOD removal system that has been specifically designed for this task and minimizes the subsequent overwhelming economic cost of aircraft system damage, the indirect costs of flight delays and cancellations, and the consequential loss in the airport’s and/or airline’s profit.  A flexible system that helps address the challenges and acknowledges the needs of efficient and profitable airport operations, the FOD*BOSS is an inherently more flexible and nimble option for the apron and taxiway areas.  Imagine trying to navigate a sweeper truck around parked aircraft and all the other vehicles and people working in this area?
