- TaxiBots are semi-robotic tow trucks to help airlines reduce the use of Air Turbine Fuel (ATF) during taxiing.
- An aircraft can be steered with both its engines off with the help of a TaxiBot, which lifts and holds the aircraft’s nose wheel and transports it from the terminal to the runway and back.
- This can help airlines save jet fuel (ATF), one of the largest expenses for an airline, accounting for nearly 30% of total operational costs.
