Brussels Airport has announced the introduction of a self-driving, electric shuttle bus as part of its sustainability initiatives. The shuttle will transport airport staff along a fixed route during a three-month trial period.
During this trial, the shuttle will not operate entirely autonomously; a steward will be present to intervene if necessary. Each ride can accommodate up to eight employees and will run alongside existing transportation services at the airport.
Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport Company, stated: “As an intermodal hub, Brussels Airport is dedicated to fostering efficient collaboration between various modes of transport. This pilot project aligns seamlessly with that strategy, marking a significant step forward in advancing innovative and sustainable mobility at the airport. Moreover, the electric shuttle aligns with our ambition as an airport operator to achieve zero CO2 emissions by 2030.”
