Turnarounds are under pressure.Â
Gate support needs to keep up.
EcoGate helps create more stable and consistent gate operations by coordinating ground power, pre-conditioned air, and charging into one intelligent system.
EcoGate: Reduce APU dependency without compromising turnaround operations
Inconsistent gate support affects operations
Operational pressure at the gate is increasing.
- Aircraft still rely on APUs when gate support is unavailable or inconsistent.
- Delayed cooling and power impact turnaround efficiency and passenger comfort.
- Electrification adds complexity to already busy gate operations.
- Ground equipment charging competes with other systems for limited power capacity.
The result is increasing pressure on operations, staff, and the passenger experience.
More stable gate operations without adding complexity
EcoGate helps coordinate how power is used across the gate.
Instead of treating GPU, PCA, and eGSE charging as separate systems, EcoGate connects them into one shared setup and manages how available capacity is distributed.
This allows multiple systems to operate within the same power limit without compromising critical functions during turnaround.
EcoGate is a design approach where GSE units work together as a highly efficient system.

EcoGate isn’t just a product, it’s a statement of intent
"It’s more than just power sharing, it’s a total gate solution that future-proofs infrastructure and supports airports in achieving their environmental goals."
Alberto Rocha, Sales Director for the Americas
One gate. One power pool. Multiple systems.
EcoGate continuously monitors and distributes power across all connected equipment at the gate using intelligent power management.
- Aircraft power is always prioritized
- Cooling adjusts based on available capacity
- Charging uses remaining power without exceeding limits
- All systems operate within the same power limit
From isolated systems to coordinated operations
Traditional gate setups are often built around separate systems competing for the same limited power.
This can lead to:
- Operational bottlenecks
- Delayed turnaround support
- Increased APU dependency
- Inconsistent availability of gate services
EcoGate changes that dynamic by allowing you to coordinate how power is used across the gate instead of letting systems compete for it.
