/CASE STUDY

In January 2025, JFK’s New Terminal One selected TCR to deliver the world’s first centralized, all-electric GSE fleet under a shared pooling model, with the terminal scheduled to open in 2026; the program includes fleet management technology providing real-time operational data to improve efficiency, safety, and decision-making for ground handlers using the shared equipment.
