Tecnam P2012 Traveller<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe P-Volt will leverage Tecnam’s advanced achievements in the 11-seat category aircraft segment. Following decades of study, the P2012 Traveller has established a new global reference point within the twin engine piston marketplace. The P-Volt will be the first cargo, medical evacuation, special mission and commercial passenger aircraft to offer electric propulsion by a manufacturer, raising Tecnam’s ‘DREAM concept – which stands for “Durability, Reliability, Employability, Affordability & Manageability” – to a new, unrivalled level of efficiency.<\/p>\n
During the Press Conference,\u00a0Giovanni Pascale Langer<\/span>, TECNAM Managing Director, announced that Cape Air is committed to the P-VOLT program. Cape Air who is a Part 135 operator will expand its fleet of Tecnam P2012 Travellers with P-Volt aircraft to provide Green Routes within the US. Cape Air and Wideroe, the major Norwegian Regional Airline and first European P-Volt launch customer, will share in this symbolic role towards a worldwide Green Aviation transition.<\/p>\nDan Wolf<\/span>, Cape Air Founder and CEO, said: “As the launch customer for the TECNAM P2012 Traveller, we are excited by the prospects of an all-electric version. In 2009, Cape Air was the first airline to adopt a strategic commitment to the environment. We look forward to taking the next step in mitigating our carbon footprint.”<\/p>\nThe Tecnam P-Volt aircraft, with its electric propulsion system completely designed by Rolls-Royce, are all engineered to deliver a sustainable solution for the commuter market. Innovative battery management and the dedicated swappable battery concept will ensure full power availability for quick turnaround times, while preserving battery life and significantly reducing the direct operational cost.<\/p>\n
Giovanni Pascale Langer<\/span>, Tecnam Managing Director: “Tecnam is proud to be part of the future of General and Commercial Aviation with partners like Rolls-Royce. Our plan is to provide solutions for a sustainable future that is possible, and that is just a step ahead. Ensuring a green future for aviation is not an ambition anymore; it has become our main goal. Tecnam is committed to the P-Volt project. Starting from the baseline of our P2012 Traveller will also constitute an easier and smoother transition for all current and future P2012 Traveller operators. All-electric aircraft development is one thing; running it efficiently into commercial operation is something really different and this is what Tecnam wants to ensure.”<\/p>\nRob Watson<\/span>, Director, Rolls-Royce Electrical, said: “We are delighted Cape Air has joined Wider\u00f8e in selecting the P-Volt aircraft to support its sustainable aviation ambitions. Rolls-Royce and Tecnam are focused on delivering this zero-emission aircraft for the commuter market. We are the leading supplier of all-electric and hybrid electric propulsion and power systems across multiple aviation markets and are committed to all our new products being compatible with net zero operations.”<\/p>\n“Although the color of our company is blue, the color of the future is green,” said\u00a0David Copeland<\/span>\u00a0new Sales Director of Tecnam US. “This is why we decided to move towards the direction of pioneering sustainable flights. A zero emission, low noise multi-mission flight that will change the way we fly and we live.”<\/p>\nAndreas Aks, Chief Strategy Officer, Wider\u00f8e, added: “We are highly excited to be offered the role as launch operator, but also humble about the challenges of putting the world’s first zero emissions aircraft into service. Our mission is to have all new capabilities, processes and procedures required for a zero emissions operator, designed and approved in parallel with the aircraft being developed and certified.”<\/p>\n

About TECNAM; “Quality Aircraft since 1948”<\/p>\n
Tecnam’s roots go all the way back to the Italian brothers\u00a0Luigi and Giovanni Pascale<\/span>\u00a0who began to develop and produce innovative aircraft soon after the end of WWII. Since those early beginnings, the family has continued to create original models, first gaining worldwide recognition under the name Partenavia, which translates as ” Naples Aviation”.<\/p>\nCostruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam was established in\u00a0March 1986<\/span>\u00a0and now operates in two production facilities. The Casoria facility is located adjacent to\u00a0Naples’<\/span>\u00a0Capodichino International Airport, while the main factory is next to the “Oreste Salomone” Airport in Capua. Recently new facilities were established in\u00a0Sebring, Florida<\/span>, USA and in\u00a0Australia<\/span>\u00a0to serve and support the needs of Tecnam’s local owners and operators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tecnam and Rolls-Royce held a highly anticipated press conference at Oshkosh’s EAA Media Center to showcase P-Volt, their joint contribution to Green Aviation.
