Ground Power Units (GPUs)

Ground power units (GPUs) supply electricity to aircraft while parked at the gate or on a remote stand, allowing onboard systems to function without using the aircraft’s auxiliary power unit (APU). Available as fixed or mobile units, GPUs help reduce fuel consumption, carbon emissions and noise on the apron. They are a vital part of sustainable and efficient ground operations.
