TUG MR Lithium-Electric Cargo / Pushback Tractor
Low-profile lithium tractor — regional-jet pushback and cargo tow in one machine, zero ramp emissions.
The TUG MR is engineered with a low-profile chassis and pivots between cargo tow and regional-jet pushback duty on the same shift. Available in Samsung-lithium electric configuration, the MR addresses the underloaded niche between heavy pushback tractors and dedicated baggage tugs — a duty pattern common at DOH and AUH cargo aprons where Q400 / E-jets share the apron with widebody cargo. Heavy-duty axle, multiple cab and hitch options, and zero tailpipe emissions through the lithium drivetrain. Smart Sense anti-collision and telematics standard.
