  • India has planned to buy environmentally friendly TaxiBots, which can be used at the airports, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
  • These Pilot-controlled and semi-robots will allow pilots to switch on the plane’s engines only when it reaches the starting point of the runway hence reducing carbon emissions.
  • IAI has announced that it had entered into an agreement with Gurugram-based KSU Aviation for the same.
  • The use of TaxiBot at Indian airports in the next five years will bring about a saving of $1.5 billion to Indian carriers and reduce environmental damage of greenhouse gases by four million tons.
