Irizar ie trams ordered for London Gatwick Airport
London Gatwick Airport is to put 14 Irizar ie trams into service.
The 18m electric buses are to be put to use connecting passengers from the airport’s long stay car parks to the terminals.
Irizar e-mobility has signed a contract with London Gatwick Airport to supply the ie trams. The buses will be equipped with luggage racks and will be charged using an ultra-fast pantograph system, which can do a full charge in less than six minutes. In addition, with the goal of improving safety, the new buses will be equipped with digital vision cameras, designed to significantly improves the front, side and rear visibility.
