Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is rapidly expanding its fleet of electric vehicles, to further cut the CO₂ footprint of the airport. “Less CO₂, nitrogen and ultrafine particles – that’s why we are fully committed to driving on electricity. Vehicles that run on fossil fuels are going to be gradually phased out over the coming years.”
A short animation shows that an international hub like ‘Schiphol’ has numerous types of vehicles in its fleet that can be electrified.
These are the vehicles in the video that have been electrified or will be electrified in the (near) future:
- Taxis – Tesla
