Electrify airport gates and optimize power capacity — without major infrastructure upgrades

Airports are under growing pressure to electrify ground operations and improve airport gate power management while supporting expanding electric GSE fleets. At the same time, limited power capacity at airport gates and the cost of infrastructure upgrades can slow progress.

EcoGate introduces a different approach.

Key benefits of EcoGate

• Optimize use of existing gate power capacity
• Reduce pressure for costly infrastructure upgrades
• Enable scalable electrification across gates and remote stands
• Integrate GSE charging into coordinated gate operations
• Improve operational efficiency and reduce complexity for ground crews
• Support lower-emission ground operations and reduced APU use

EcoGate is a design framework that shifts gate operations from stand-alone units to coordinated systems, where ground support equipment works together as one integrated setup. Built around electrification, power sharing, data sharing, and technical synergy, EcoGate helps airports optimize existing power capacity and strengthen gate operations without major infrastructure expansion.

Instead of treating GPUs, PCAs, charging systems, and other equipment as independent assets, EcoGate connects them into coordinated configurations that improve utilization and support scalable airport gate electrification.

Solutions such as Power Share, DC Chargers for electric GSE, and mobile pre-conditioned air units illustrate how coordinated electrification can increase operational flexibility while working within existing infrastructure.

EcoGate transforms ground support equipment from isolated assets into a coordinated system that improves gate economics and supports electrified airport operations.
