British Airways is to invest more than £25million on a new fleet of “green” airport vehicles as part of its move to Terminal 5 in March 2008.
The new vehicles, which will include passenger buses, baggage tractors and loading equipment, will replace older models and will help the airline reduce its ground emissions at Heathrow and improve its punctuality performance.
Geoff Want, director of ground operations for British Airways, said: "Terminal 5 is a once in a life opportunity for the airline and the new ground equipment fleet will be critical to the overall success of the move.
"When we ordered each of the vehicle types one of the key considerations was their environmental performance. We are looking forward to retiring many of our oldest vehicles in the next few months which has a triple benefit of reducing emissions, improving customer experience and also giving staff better working conditions."
