Airports provide many opportunities for alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles and have demonstrated many implementation successes. Airports are uniquely suited for these vehicles for many reasons. The duty cycles of airport vehicles feature high mileage, long idle times, and frequent stopping. Vehicles that travel to and from airports are conducive to central refueling. There are a variety of fleets and applications with many alternative fuel and advanced vehicle options, and there are many sources of outside funding for vehicle and infrastructure projects.

This page serves as the table of contents for the Airports section. Use the links below to learn more about alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles in airport fleet applications.
