The electric green taxiing system (EGTS) is an aircraft technology that employs electric motors, typically powered by the aircraft's Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), enabling aircraft to taxi on runways and taxiways without using their main engines. This reduces fuel consumption, emissions, and overall operating costs.
The main components of an electric green taxiing system include electric motors, power electronics, batteries, and other supporting elements. In aviation, electric motors drive propulsion systems, offering a quieter and more efficient alternative to conventional combustion engines. EGTS can be applied to various aircraft types, such as commercial airliners, private jets, cargo aircraft, and military planes, and may utilize technologies including battery-electric systems, hybrid-electric systems, fuel cells, and integrated automation. These systems support applications such as airport operations, airline ground support, environmental compliance, and cost-efficiency initiatives, serving end users such as airlines, airport authorities, ground handling service providers, and government or military organizations.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the electric green taxiing system market by increasing costs of imported electric motors, power electronics, battery systems, sensors, and control units used in aircraft integration. Commercial aviation programs in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on specialized aerospace-grade components, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressures on manufacturing and retrofitting activities. These tariffs are raising system integration costs and slowing fleet-wide adoption. However, they are also encouraging localized aerospace manufacturing, regional supplier development, and increased investment in domestic electric aviation technologies.

This electric green taxiing system (egts) market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The electric green taxiing system (egts) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.48 billion in 2025 to $1.7 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising airport congestion levels, increasing aircraft ground fuel consumption, early trials of electric taxiing technologies, growing pressure to reduce airline operating costs, initial regulatory focus on airport emissions.
The electric green taxiing system (egts) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.88 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to reducing aviation carbon footprint targets, rising investments in green airport technologies, growing airline focus on operational efficiency, advancements in aircraft electrification systems, increasing adoption of hybrid and electric aviation solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of engine-off taxiing solutions, rising integration of electric wheel drive systems, growing focus on fuel cost reduction technologies, expansion of automated taxiing assistance systems, enhanced emphasis on emission reduction during ground operations.
The rising air traffic is expected to drive the growth of the electric green taxiing system market going forward. Air traffic refers to the regulated flow of aircraft in the sky and on the ground to ensure safe and efficient aviation operations. The surge in air traffic is largely fueled by expanding tourism, supported by affordable travel options, streamlined visa processes, and increased promotion of global destinations. Electric green taxiing systems address this growth by enabling smoother and faster ground movements, reducing runway congestion, cutting fuel consumption, and enhancing airport efficiency. For instance, in January 2025, the Airports Council International (ACI), a Canada-based organization of airport authorities, reported that global passenger traffic is expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels, reaching 9.5 billion in 2024, over 12 billion by 2030, and doubling to 19.5 billion by 2042 compared to 2024. Therefore, the increasing air traffic is fueling the growth of the electric green taxiing system market.
Major companies operating in the electric green taxiing system (EGTS) market are focusing on strategic partnerships to accelerate technology development, secure regulatory certifications, expand adoption, and enhance operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact. For instance, in June 2025, StandardAero, a US-based aerospace component manufacturing company, partnered with Green Taxi Solutions (GTS), a US-based aviation company, to obtain Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for an aircraft-installed electric taxiing system designed to cut emissions, fuel burn, and noise during ground operations. Supported by a $5.6 million FAA CLEEN grant, the system was successfully demonstrated on an Airbus A320 with Airbus' no technical objection and targets certification by 2027, with further approvals planned from EASA and Brazil's ANAC. The retrofit-friendly system integrates electric motors into the main landing gear powered by the aircraft's APU, reducing fuel use by around 85% compared to main engines, saving up to 80,000 gallons annually, lowering costs, brake wear, and turnaround times, while requiring minimal infrastructure modifications.
In June 2025, Green Taxi Solutions, a US-based aerospace technology company, entered into a partnership with StandardAero to certify the first fully electric aircraft taxiing system. Through this collaboration, Green Taxi Solutions and StandardAero plan to integrate and certify EGTS technology to enhance the efficiency of aircraft ground operations, lower fuel usage and emissions, and support the scalable and sustainable adoption of electric taxiing across the commercial aviation sector. StandardAero is a US-based aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul provider specializing in engine aftermarket services, engineering support, and certification capabilities.
