20kW Motor & Controller System for Airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE)EV Conversion

To support the electrification of airport **entity[“other”,”Ground Support Equipment”,”airport vehicles”] (GSE)**, our company provides complete conversion solutions tailored to different equipment types and operational requirements. Typical GSE applications include towing and transport equipment such as baggage tractors, cargo tractors, and aircraft tow tractors, which require high torque, low-speed operation, and heavy-load capability; loading equipment such as belt loaders and container loaders, which combine electric drive systems with hydraulic functions; service equipment including ground power units (GPU), air conditioning units (ACU), and de-icing vehicles, characterized by fluctuating power demand and continuous output requirements; as well as support equipment like sweepers and refueling or maintenance service vehicles.

Our system configuration is determined based on the actual vehicle parameters, including required torque, speed, and power. Based on these requirements, we provide customized electrification solutions to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and reliability for each specific application.

DC-DC Converter for Airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE)EV Conversion

GSE electrification typically falls into three voltage levels: low voltage platforms such as 48V and 72V, which are suitable for light-duty equipment and offer advantages in cost and safety but are limited in power output; medium voltage platforms including 96V, 144V, and 192V, which represent the mainstream solution and are widely used in applications such as baggage tractors, belt loaders, and small service vehicles; and high voltage platforms ranging from 300V to 600V or higher, typically used in aircraft tow tractors, large loading equipment, and high-demand systems such as GPU and air conditioning units, offering higher power capability and efficiency but with increased system complexity and cost.

We provide a full range of voltage platforms from 48V, 72V, 96V, 144V up to high-voltage solutions, allowing customers to select the most suitable configuration based on power requirements. Once the voltage and power level are defined, we further optimize the complete system architecture, including components such as DC-DC converters and other key parts, ensuring a fully matched and reliable electrification solution for each application.

In airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE) electrification projects, the power requirement typically ranges from low to high power depending on the application. For towing equipment, power demand includes baggage tractors (5–15 kW), cargo tractors (10–30 kW), and aircraft tow tractors (50–200+ kW). For loading equipment, belt loaders usually require 5–20 kW, while container loaders operate in the range of 20–60 kW. For service equipment, ground power units (GPU) typically require 30–120 kW output power, and air conditioning units range from 20–80 kW.

Our solutions cover a wide power spectrum from 5 kW to 65 kW and are compatible with different voltage platforms such as 48V, 72V, 96V, and 144V. Based on the selected power level, we provide a fully matched system configuration, including motor, controller, battery system, and auxiliary components. The instrument system supports CAN communication with the controller, and can also integrate with the customer’s original dashboard. In addition, we can provide a dedicated compact battery state display to ensure clear and reliable real-time monitoring of system status.

When developing an electrification (conversion kit) solution for airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE), several key factors must be carefully evaluated to ensure optimal system performance. Equipment type directly determines the required power level, while operating duration defines the necessary battery capacity. Continuous operation requirements have a direct impact on thermal management design, and existing hydraulic systems determine the integration strategy between the motor and hydraulic pump system.

In addition, the charging solution can also be fully customized based on customer requirements. We can provide onboard charger (OBC) configurations supporting single-phase or three-phase charging, and the system can also be designed to utilize airport ground power supply where applicable.

Summary

Our electrification solutions are designed to match the real operational needs of airport GSE, providing a balanced combination of performance, cost efficiency, and reliability. At the same time, we enable a smooth and practical transition from traditional combustion-based powertrains to fully electric systems, ensuring compatibility with different operational and infrastructure conditions.

Regarding the battery system, we also provide fully customized solutions based on customer requirements. Different voltage platforms are matched with corresponding battery architectures, including optimized selection of cells, BMS, and system integration to ensure performance, safety, and reliability.

For airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE) electrification applications, we can design battery systems ranging from low-voltage to high-voltage configurations, tailored to specific power demand, duty cycle, and operational environment.

For example, our modular battery solutions can be adapted to 96V and similar platforms, using LiFePO4 technology to deliver stable and efficient energy output. Typical configurations may include standard and high-capacity options to balance endurance and performance requirements, ensuring reliable operation across different GSE applications.

In addition, the battery system is engineered with optimized cell selection, advanced BMS integration, and thermal management design to ensure safety and long service life under continuous airport operation conditions.

Our goal is to provide a fully matched energy solution that integrates seamlessly with the motor, controller, and charging system, enabling a complete and reliable electrification package for airport GSE applications.

Questions About Airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Conversion

Yes, we provide all electronic parts for conversion.  We also provide wire diagram system, each part user manual, so you will have no obstacles for installation and connection of the system.

Yes, we provide motor spline coupler and adapter plate to install motor to original transmisison. But the original transmission’s clutch need to get removed. If you want to keep clutch, you need modify the spline coupler to clutch a bit. Because we do not have car in hand, so we bought a old transmission without clutch to make the coupler and adapter kit.

We provide two years for battery, and one year warranty for other parts. We only use top grade quality products. If any parts failure from manufacturing issues, we provide repair parts for replacement.

If we have stocks ready to go, the lead time is one weeek after order confirmed.  if we have no stocks, lead time might be 4 weeks after order confirmed.
