PRODUCT PROFILE

Comet 3 E is the solution for ground handlers working in confined spaces, like baggage sorting areas, says Kesy. The all-electric
power of the Comet 3 E also offers the benefit of being emission free, ensuring ground
handlers have clean air around them as they
work in those tight spaces.
"It offers an emission-free alternative
to conventional vehicles with combustion
engines. For technical reasons, an electric
drive is also much less subject to wear and
tear and requires much less maintenance,"
Kesy says.
Some of the features of the Comet 3 E
include: a choice of sliding or hinged doors
for getting in and out of the tractor in narrow areas, such as hangars or baggage areas;
an integrated loading platform for transporting materials, tools and baggage; a clear
view on the rear tow hitch; and an optimized
steering geometry for extra low tire wear at
steering angles up to 70 degrees.
"The Comet 3 E is CO2-neutral, emission-free, provides low noise pollution for
the driver and environment, features an
ergonomic cockpit, rear camera and innovative control panel," adds Kesy. "Features
include hydraulically suspended seats
and an adjustable steering wheel, clearly
arranged operating controls in the driver's
field of vision including a control panel with
display for controlling central vehicle functions and for displaying the live image of
the rear view camera. There are many other
features and options that can be installed
according to the customer's requirements,
and the electric tractor series Comet 3 E,
Comet 4 E and Comet 6 E has just been
completely revised and currently offers the
latest state-of-the-art technology.
"It has undergone two major updates

since then, bringing improved chassis and
cabin design as well as more electronic
options like the control panel with display.
In addition, the drive and battery technologies have been continuously further developed," Kesy continues.
To learn to operate the Comet 3 E, Kesy
says all that is required is a basic MULAG

instruction. "And of course the local airport
requirements must also be met," he says.
"The driver will quickly find his way around
thanks to the intuitive operation."
To charge the Comet 3 E's battery, either an
internal device can be used or the tractor can
be charged by external means, with charging
time being strongly dependent on age of the
battery and the remaining charge in it.
And while climate will have an impact
on the tractor, Kesy says that the Comet 3
E can be used anywhere in the world, and
that MULAG offers special equipment kits
for particularly hot or cold climates, too,
keeping the Comet 3 E operating optimally.
"Electric airport vehicles are a bridge
technology towards more efficient, low-consumption and emission-free vehicles," adds
Kesy. "However, they are still limited by the
current state of battery technology, which
is constantly improving."
