Global aviation fuel provider Avfuel has reached a sustainability milestone with the delivery of its first fully-electric jet-A refueler. Del Monte Aviation at California’s Monterey Regional Airport (KMRY) received the truck—which has a 5,000-gallon capacity—on March 17. Avfuel’s in-house shop team created the vehicle, working in close connection with the FBO over the past year to ensure smooth delivery and integration of the tanker into its fleet. It was immediately put into service and will be joined there by a second unit next month.

“The addition of electric refueler trucks represents an ongoing commitment to providing the latest in technology to complement and enhance an award-winning culture of safety and service in operations, while doing so with an increasingly smaller environmental footprint,” said Del Monte v-p Matt Wright.
