- India’s national carrier Air India earned itself a place in history as it became the first airline in the world to use a Taxibot as an alternate taxiing equipment on an Airbus aircraft.
- The Taxibot is a pilot-controlled semi-robotic aircraft tractor that helps in the taxiing of an aircraft from the parking bay to the runway and vice versa.
- Taxibots are said to be of great help in reducing CO2 emissions and aviation fuel consumption.
- The towing machine will cut down around 800 Kg of the poisonous gas from the atmosphere for every 15 minutes of its usage.
- The robotic vehicle is developed by Israel Aerospace Industries along with French TLD Group.
