Taranis Delivers and Installs First Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Battery at Vancouver International Airport

Vancouver, BC – August 18th 2025 – Taranis Energy Inc, a Canadian manufacturer of advanced lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery systems, is proud to announce the successful delivery and installation of its first Ground Support Equipment (GSE) battery. The unit is now fully operational at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), marking an exciting milestone for both the company and the aviation industry’s transition toward cleaner, more efficient ground operations.

The new battery system has been integrated into airport GSE to replace traditional lead-acid technology. With higher energy efficiency, faster charging capability, and extended cycle life, the Taranis GSE battery significantly reduces maintenance downtime and improves overall reliability. Designed and built in Vancouver, the system also reflects our commitment to local manufacturing and sustainable innovation.

“We are thrilled to see our first GSE battery in active service at Vancouver International Airport,” said Adam Pyszko, CEO at Taranis Energy Inc. “Airports worldwide are working hard to lower their carbon footprint, and ground support equipment is a major focus area. By providing a cleaner, safer, and more durable energy solution, we are proud to help lead this transition right here at home.”

The installation at YVR supports the airport’s broader sustainability initiatives. Ground Support Equipment—including baggage tractors, belt loaders, and tow vehicles—traditionally rely on diesel or lead-acid battery systems. Transitioning these vehicles to advanced LiFePO₄ technology not only cuts emissions but also reduces operating costs and increases reliability in demanding airport environments.

Key benefits of the Taranis GSE battery include:

• Fast charging capability to keep equipment in service with minimal downtime.
• Extended cycle life for lower total cost of ownership compared to lead-acid batteries.
• Improved safety with built-in battery management systems (BMS) and thermal protection.
• Sustainable design manufactured locally in Vancouver, Canada.

This first deployment is expected to serve as a model for further adoption of LiFePO₄ technology in airports across Canada and beyond. Taranis Energy is currently in discussions with additional partners to expand the use of its batteries in both GSE and other demanding industrial applications.

“This is just the beginning,” added Adam Pyszko. “We see enormous potential for Canadian-built battery solutions in aviation and beyond, and we’re excited to grow alongside forward-thinking partners like Vancouver International Airport.”
