TUG Endurance Lithium-Electric Long-Range Tractor
Samsung-lithium long-range tractor — extended runtime for back-to-back gates, zero apron emissions.
The TUG Endurance is the long-runtime extension of Textron's lithium tractor line — built for ground handlers running back-to-back narrow-body turns where mid-shift charging is operationally impractical. Samsung-lithium pack, AC traction with regenerative braking, and the same Smart Sense anti-collision telematics shared across the TUG line. While Textron does not publish a battery-electric lavatory-service truck, the Endurance is the carrier of choice for tug-and-cart lavatory-cart trains — pulling lavatory and water service carts behind on extended apron loops. Zero ramp emissions, climate-controlled cab for 50°C+ Gulf summer ramp work.
