First unveiled at the 2012 Paris Air Show, the Green Taxi System earned Airbus’s “no technical objection” for A320 compatibility—validating its feasibility for commercial use. This electric taxi technology, powered by the aircraft’s APU, lets pilots taxi without main engines—cutting fuel, emissions, and noise while improving safety and efficiency.
