Japan Airport Building has launched a service to advance the electrification of shuttle vehicles used at Haneda Airport by providing electric vehicles and charging equipment as a package.
Primarily used for staff transportation, both small cargo vehicles and general passenger cars are deployed; although 722 vehicles are in operation at Haneda Airport, only 16 are electric vehicles.
A study by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism’s Civil Aviation Bureau indicated that the vehicles can be introduced without disrupting aircraft operations or airport management, with an expected reduction of 1-2 tons of CO2 emissions per vehicle annually. However, securing charging facilities has remained a challenge, which led to the introduction of this service.
The service users are Japan Airlines (JAL), JAL Engineering, and Skymark, with partners such as Sumitomo Mitsui Auto Service, Fuyo Auto Lease, Mizuho Auto Lease, and EVolity.
