Testing the eGPU under real operational conditions

Viggo Service Enablers, a ground handling company at Eindhoven Airport, set out to evaluate the performance and usability of the ITW GSE 7400 eGPU under real operational conditions.

The goal was to determine how the eGPU could reduce emissions and improve the working environment on the apron while maintaining power reliability.

The results showed that the 7400 eGPU delivers the same dependable 400 Hz power as conventional GPUs — but with significantly reduced fuel use, lower noise levels, and improved usability for operators.
