Harrods Aviation transitions to all-electric vehicles
Not only quiet, smooth and efficient, electric vehicles also reduce exhaust emissions in and around the operating environment; Harrods' primarily airside vehicles perform a lot of short journeys.
Harrods Aviation has transitioned to an all-electric vehicle fleet.

Harrods Aviation has completed its transition to a fleet of all-electric vehicles at its London Stansted and London Luton airport FBOs. The EVs provide numerous practical benefits to the company as well as increased comfort for all customers. They are quieter, smoother and more efficient than the previous combustion engine vehicles, meaning they can carry on providing the highest level of customer service while also reducing operating costs.

Harrods Aviation believes in leading the industry with the use of new technology that correlates with its sustainability goals. Part of this recent technology transition has been to utilise the latest electric vehicle technology from Mercedes Benz. An added benefit to using electric vehicles is the reduction of exhaust emissions in and around our operating environment. Due to the nature of our business, our primarily airside vehicles perform a lot of short journeys. The latest EV technology is the perfect solution to support these operational needs,” says director of operations Dan Holian.

Harrods Aviation is thrilled to be making yet another significant step in becoming a responsible and environmentally conscious business. This move is part of its ongoing commitment to delivering on its sustainability goals and reducing carbon emissions. The operations department currently has 65 per cent of its GSE fleet powered by zero emissions equipment, with plans to transition the rest of its fleet as technology advances.
