Regulatory News:
Gaussin and Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) are jointly
developing the world's first full electric ART(R) (Aircraft
Refueller Transporter). Planned for the Airbus industrial site in
Toulouse, this prototype will be capable of towing two fuel
tankers, with a fuel capacity of 30 tons each. Delivery is expected
at the end of 2020.
This partnership between Gaussin and Total will be drawing on
the 40 years of know-how of Saft (a subsidiary of Total) in
designing and producing batteries for electric & hybrid
commercial and industrial vehicles. Saft will provide the
lithium-ion batteries for this future fleet. The batteries will be
entirely developed and manufactured at Saft's facilities in Nersac
and Bordeaux in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France.
This first firm order will enable Gaussin to expand its offering
on the electric vehicles market and Total to provide a solution
adapted to the refueling business. It also paves the way for the
development of a fleet of innovative vehicles, specifically
dedicated to aviation.
With this development, Total illustrates its commitment to
reduce its carbon footprint on the airport platforms it supplies
and operates, alongside its customers and partners. Together with
society, Total shares the ambition of becoming carbon neutral by
2050 for all of its activities, from its production to the use of
the energy products sold to its customers.
