VEV applied its expertise in EV charging strategy and fleet electrification in the context of airport operations to develop a comprehensive EVCI plan for MAG. VEV’s approach combined technical expertise, operational insight, and collaborative stakeholder engagement to create a strategy that aligned with MAG’s sustainability goals while ensuring day-to-day operations could continue smoothly.
Transitioning to net zero airport operations is a complex undertaking, particularly for a large airport operator like MAG.
Some of the key challenges included:
"What stood out immediately was VEV’s depth of experience and expertise – not just in charging infrastructure, but in how to make it work operationally in a complex environment like an airport. They understood the technical constraints and translated them into practical solutions. VEV brought together consulting and practical expertise – considering everything from vehicle types and fleet operations to power infrastructure and how to manage the transition effectively going forward."
MAG now has a comprehensive understanding of the future EVCI requirements across all three airports
Detailed site plans, technical specifications, and identified grid investments ensure MAG are ready for the rollout phase
Empowering MAG’s partners to advance their sustainability commitments
The collaborative process has aligned MAG’s team around a common roadmap, driving momentum for the next steps
MAG is one of Europe’s largest airport groups, owning and operating Manchester, London Stansted, and East Midlands airports.
Collectively, MAG serves more than 65 million passengers annually and handles more than 700,000 tonnes of cargo.
MAG is committed to meeting growing demand for aviation sustainably, recently publishing its new Sustainability Strategy – “Creating a sustainable future for all.”
MAG has set ambitious targets that go beyond reducing emissions – it aims to lead by example and acts as an industry leader in sustainable airport operations.
