Ground service equipment manufacturer Tronair is displaying its new product line up this week at the NBAA annual convention in Orlando, Florida. Included are its Eagle eJP-12 towbarless tug, which features dual 16-hp AC electric motors with regenerative braking and zero-degree turning radius technology; the Eagle utility vehicle (EUV), which offers the same three-year/3,000-hour warranty as the eJP-12; and a gas-powered Kubota engine with rear wheel drive.

 


In addition, Tronair's lineup includes&nbsp;the 400-Hz Combo diesel GPU, which does not require a diesel particulate filter&nbsp;or any regeneration period,&nbsp;and the Cabin Pressure Unit, with a digital display for diagnostics, auxiliary air driven 30-foot door seal line and high accuracy flow, pressure, and temperature readings.

 


The company’s booth (5038) is connected via the latest version of DatcoMedia’s EBIS enterprise asset management software, which was developed specifically for ground service equipment. Due to the mobile platform, customer invoicing, advanced reporting, and data analytics, customers gain measureable ROI throughout the EBIS lifecycle.
