An Electric Solution for
Conventional Pushbacks
Goldhofer has extended its line of BISON
tractors to include two electric models.

oldhofer has developed two electric models
to complement its BISON line of pushback tractors. This family of conventional
pushbacks now has six models, including
the electric BISON E 370 and BISON E 620.
"At GSE Expo 2018 we presented the BISON family in the diesel versions D 370, D 620 and D 1000,
plus the electric version, E 370," says Christof Peer,
sales director of airport technology at Goldhofer.
"The more powerful models BISON D 1500 and
the electric BISON E 620 made their public debut
at inter airport Europe 2019."
The redesign and modification of these models
was dictated by the need to adapt the F series, which
came into the Goldhofer portfolio when the company acquired Schopf. The objective was a uniform
modular design for the BISON series, with a high
proportion of carry-over parts and standardized
operation.
"Users can choose between different sizes, drive
trains, motor power and cabs for specific requirements. Identical parts save storage and costs, and
flexible ballasting allows individual configuration,"
Peer says.

The two electric BISON models differ in battery
power, weight class and the range of aircraft they
serve.
"The BISON E 370 is designed for aircraft weight
range until 100 tons, while the BISON E 620 is
for aircraft weight range until 250 tons," says Peer.
The features that have been incorporated in the
BISON E design combines the same reliability,
safety and flexibility as the diesel-engine models.
Since this product has launched, updates to the
batteries have been modified to run longer for a
lasting experience.
"The highly efficient 400 V lithium-ion battery
is designed for fast charging, including intermediate
charging, and offers 30 percent higher availability
than lead-acid batteries," Peers notes.
