FL Technics Indonesia, a prominent MRO service provider in the Asia-Pacific region, has taken a major step toward sustainability and operational efficiency with the adoption of the Mototok Spacer 8600 NG technology. This advanced tow bar-less aircraft tug has been operational at the company’s Bali hangar since January 2024, making FL Technics Indonesia a pioneer in introducing eco-friendly technology within Indonesia’s MRO sector.
The Mototok Spacer 8600 NG is a zero-emission pushback tug that offers a precise, eco-conscious solution for aircraft ground handling. Designed for towing and pushback operations, it aligns with global trends in sustainable aviation and the Indonesian government’s vision for a greener aviation sector. According to Martynas Grigas, President Director of FL Technics Indonesia, “The adoption of the Mototok Spacer 8600 NG is part of FL Technics Indonesia’s proactive steps toward the global technological revolution in the MRO sector. Amid rapid innovation, we are actively contributing to this transformation by prioritising efficiency, safety and environmental sustainability.”
The tug’s modern design includes 96V AC electric motors with a quick three-hour charge time, enabling up to 30 pushbacks per charge. Capable of handling up to 105 tons with a front wheel load capacity of 11 tons, the tug is compatible with widely used aircraft models such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. Key features include remote-control operation, an integrated display, IoT interface for performance monitoring, and advanced error protection systems. These attributes enable FL Technics Indonesia to boost precision, productivity, and capacity while maintaining its skilled workforce.
By adopting the Mototok Spacer 8600 NG, FL Technics Indonesia reaffirms its position as a leader in the MRO industry and underscores its mission to meet the evolving demands of modern aviation. The company aims to inspire others in the aviation sector to embrace sustainable, innovative practices while providing world-class services for both local and international airlines.
