Doll says that full electric front‑end fleets depend on charging infrastructure and network connections, and that airport operators, ground handlers, caterers and airlines should decide early which fleets to electrify and when, with Bruno Brandt of Doll noting that those aiming for large electrification in the 2030s must start infrastructure planning now.
The company adds that new vehicles can be acquired quickly but network connections take longer, citing Vienna Airport’s installation of a charging point for a pilot electric highloader and a power line under a hall roof as an example, while warning that a solution for a single highloader is not suitable for a full fleet because each additional electric unit raises power demand, peaks and requirements for cabling, buildings and permits.
