tractors is producing maximum torque of 0
rpm for effortless pushback. The two-speed
transmission offers more efficiency with an
inter-axle.
As far as axles go, Dubois says the units
are heavy-duty, steerable Kessler axles with a
20-ton capacity. They boast hydraulic parking
brakes, dry disk brakes and integrated transducers to control turning alignment.
Electric fans bank over a liquid cooling system and have 40kW capacity cooling motors,
inverters and controllers.
"Our new F1-280E offers reliability, high
performance, cost savings, safety and above
all else, customer satisfaction," Dubois adds.
He says he is especially proud of the safety
systems with these vehicles, as the limp mode
will allow operators to inch forward at a very
slow pace to eliminate the risk of entrapment
while connecting to aircraft. In addition, an
automatic fire suppression system is avail-

able through heat and smoke sensors, while
the main battery is isolated for further safety
measures.

New Factory
Just a one-hour drive from Bangkok, in Chonburi, the company's new eGSE factory is being
built. It's located in what's called the Industrial
Triangle of Thailand (Bangkok, Chonburi and
Rayong). Livraghi says that the current factory
for Panus Assembly manufactures not only
ground support equipment, but is the largest
trailers manufacturer in Thailand among other
SBU, which include petroleum, military equipment and projects with GSE covering just 20
percent of the factory's capacity.
Approximately 1,200 employees are working at this plant today and the new portion
is expected to create up to 300 additional
positions.
The owner is in the process of building the

new, modern facility to specifically focus on
the manufacturing of these electric ground
support tractors. The value of the factory is
$8 million US, Livraghi says, and added that
construction broke ground on Feb. 26, 2019,
and will be completed by mid-2020. It will
not be a completely new facility, but it will add
to the capacity of the existing infrastructure,
he explains.
"It's a really big change for our company, as
normally these advanced electric technologies
have come from Europe or the United States,"
he says. "This time, however, it's Thailand and
the Thai people are really proud of that."
The components will originate from around
the world, but the tractors will ship out fully
assembled from Thailand. In addition to
sales, Panus also offers rental, lease and service options for clients, so the new space is a
welcome and much-needed addition for the
entire company's footprint.
