Lufthansa, the German state of Hesse, and the “the Rhine- Main Model Region initiative”, won the Green Tec Award, the leading European environmental and business acco- lade. Goal: to reduce CO2 emissions from aircraft handling by introducing alternative drive technologies such as bat- tery-powered pallet lift trucks.
