Yunex Traffic has supplied, commissioned and will maintain rapid DC chargers for Bristol Airport’s airside electric vehicle (EV) fleet.

The company is providing service and maintenance support to ensure the high availability levels that are required for operational performance at one of the UK’s major regional airports.

Bristol Airport is aiming for net zero operations by 2030. This includes the electrification of its transit buses, ground handling and security vehicles, and the availability of a reliable charging infrastructure network.

We are pleased to be working so closely with Bristol Airport and to have supplied new rapid chargers for the airport’s electric vehicles. The service and support we will provide on an ongoing basis will be critical both to ensuring their optimum performance and supporting the airport’s efficient operations and ambitious net zero goals.

Wilke Reints, managing director of Yunex Traffic in the UK

We are delighted that another project has been completed, helping us to work towards our net zero goals. The collaboration with Yunex Traffic in providing the electric DC rapid chargers is essential in the busy airside aircraft operating area and assists the efficiency with aircraft turnarounds.

The latest phase of Bristol Airport’s EV charging infrastructure programme sees Yunex Traffic supply and commission rapid DC chargers, which will service the airport’s current requirements. These chargers are in addition to a number of Alfen AC units that Yunex Traffic has already installed, both airside and landside.

The latest Efacec 60 kW DC charger provides a modular charging solution, with the option to upgrade the units to 90kW or 120kW charging to meet the future needs of the airport’s fleet.
