Diesel Ground Power Unit

FDGPU-65

The Hybrid Diesel engine driven GPU is designed to reduce CO2 emissions with its advanced technical features and optional hybrid configuration.

This unit can also operate from 480V, 3 phase main power grid as electric GPU without fuel consumption, producing zero CO2 emissions and eliminating engine noise. These features make it ideal for servicing aircraft at remote parking locations, operating bases, as well as inside hangars where emissions-free operation is essential

This unit is the most versatile GPU available.

* Compatible fuel types – Jet fuels with lower lubricity characteristics will prematurely wear FIE and engine components. Therefore, FIE parts are not covered under our standard warranty.

The maximum amperage that will be delivered by the GPU to the aircraft’s external power connection is significantly reduced due to cable length, cable size and duration of power. If using Jet A1, JP8 or similar, some loss of power will occur compared to diesel due to jet fuel’s lower calorific value.
