Since 2022, based on their performances relating to ground movements and optimized stopovers, as well as their environmental efficiency, we have been offering to our clients a new innovative service.

Geneva Airpark has acquired ITWGSE 7400 Zero Emission eGPUs with the following benefits for our clients:  

  • No more constraints imposed by the airport on the use of APUs (10' after arrival and 30' before departure, Ref AIRAC AMDT 2031)
  • A reduction in costs


These new-generation, high-performance GPUs, which are powered by batteries, are highly maneuverable. They eliminate noise nuisance and fuel use and limit electricity consumption, thanks to an optimal charging time and battery life. 

CO² and NOx emissions reduced by 90-95%.

During their first year of operation, these 100% electric eGPUs provided 900 hours of energy to our clients. In this way, Geneva Airpark actively contributes to the environmental policy developed by Geneva Airport.
