Airport EVs
EVs at airports include terminal vehicles used by workmen and to ferry the disabled and Ground Service Equipment (GSE) serving the aircraft on airside. Airport GSE EVs were the largest industrial/ commercial EV market subsector after forklifts but it was overtaken by buses in numbers around 2016 and in market value much earlier. However, airports remain a growth industry for EVs because the number of aircraft flying is increasing.
