reducing maintenance and making them much more
reliable, " he says.
Furthermore, Hoadley notes the regenerative braking
of the Tiger Li-ion lessens on brake wear and boosts
vehicle efficiency.
Safety
Vehicle electrification facilitates the ability to offer
smart technology like the patent-pending anti-rollover
system exclusive to Tiger tow tractors and programmable
acceleration/deceleration and top speed.
" This technology allows users to improve their operations
while exceeding traditional safety standards, "
Hoadley says.
Li-ion tow tractors also incorporate standard safety
features such as seat belts and high visibility LED
lighting, as well as brake interlock, which forces the
operator to be at a complete stop and the brake fully
depressed before shifting to forward or reverse. Further
increasing productivity and safety, onboard diagnostics
help rapidly call attention to an issue so that it can be
addressed immediately.
Conversion Kits
Not everyone is ready to dive into lithium-ion, and
Hoadley says Waev officials understand this.
That's why Waev developed the Tiger Repower
conversion kit.
The Tiger Li-ion Tow Tractor debuted in 2022 and Tiger
Repower Li-ion conversion kits for legacy gas tow tractors
were introduced by Waev in 2023.
" Compatible with multiple tow tractors, the conversion
kit gives legacy gas tow tractors a new, sustainable life
with lithium-ion power - extending the life of current
gas-powered fleets, saving thousands, cutting emissions
and improving safety, " says Hoadley.
The kit takes 8 to 12 hours to install and includes a
rear axle and drive shaft, motor with mounting brackets
and hardware, dashboard with keyless power switch, LED
headlights and tail lights, complete service brake system,
parking brake system, brake switch, accelerator pedal,
seat belts and full tractor wiring harness.
Lastly, for customers not ready to adopt Li-ion technology,
Waev offers the Tiger G [Gas] series tractors.
" These tractors are powered by Kubota gasoline
engines backed by GM automatic transmissions. The nice
thing about these units is that they can be easily upfit to
our Li-ion drive system when the time comes, utilizing
our Tiger RePower kit which provides customers with
everything needed to upgrade legacy ICE-powered tractor
fleets, " says Hoadley.

60,000 pounds of baggage or cargo.
