ABS Jets puts faith in green electricity
ABS Jets, one of the first companies to use electric cars at its Prague and Bratislava facilities, is to install wind turbines at its Ruzyne facility.

ABS Jets, one of the first companies to use electric cars at its Prague and Bratislava facilities, is to install wind turbines at its Ruzyne facility. Vladimir Petak, ceo, says: "The installation and launch of these two WT 6500 wind turbines will help confirm ABS Jets as one of the world's greenest business jet operators. Electric car charging stations will be an integral part of the new ABS Jets centre."

He says ABS Jets has signed a contract with Windtronics East to use a system that begins to produce energy at wind speed. He adds: "An innovative 'blade tip power system' means that the WT 6500 has no gearing system, making it free from any vibration and practically noiseless – less than 35 dB – even in high winds."

Petak says the turbines measure only 1.8 metres wide and weigh 83 kg so they are easy to install on poles, communication towers, commercial, industrial and residential roofs. "Each can produce up to 2.2 kw of electricity at maximum capacity. We are taking the lead in using such 'green' energy."
