Reliable Ramp Power. Anytime. Anywhere.

Introducing Avro’s new Diesel Ground Power Units (GP90D, GP140D & GP180D) — engineered for precision, efficiency, and durability in the most demanding ramp conditions.

Why Avro Diesel GPUs

When your aircraft are on the ground, dependable power is critical. Avro’s new diesel GPUs deliver:

  • 400 Hz precision output for avionics and onboard systems
  • 2000 A peak power for fast, reliable engine starts
  • Fuel-efficient performance with reduced RPM operation
  • Noise-reduction canopy for a quieter ramp
  • Rugged reliability tested from –20 °C to +45 °C

Built to aviation standards, Avro GPUs help you reduce downtime, cut operating costs, and keep your fleet moving

GP90D

Compact, efficient, and ideal for narrowbody aircraft.

The Avro GP90D Ground Power Unit is a reliable diesel-powered solution designed to deliver stable 28V DC output for aircraft operations. Built with a durable four-stroke, water-cooled diesel engine, it provides 800A continuous power and up to 2,000A peak output for fast and efficient engine starts. Its soundproof canopy reduces noise to just 72 dB, making it ideal for ramp environments where quiet operation matters. With a towable trailer design, the GP90D is easy to transport across the airfield, supporting efficient workflow and quick deployment where power is needed.

GP140D

Balanced power for widebody support and high-demand operations.

The Avro 140 kVA Diesel GPU delivers stable, protected power for aircraft. Its compact design with front axle steering and easy access ensures user-friendliness. An optimized alternator provides efficient 1500 RPM operation, reducing fuel use. It powers aircraft with 400Hz (and optional 28V DC), meeting global aviation standards.

GP180D

Maximum capacity for heavy-duty ramp environments.

The Avro 180 kVA Diesel Ground Power Unit provides unwavering, protected power for your aircraft. Benefit from exceptional reliability with its Deutz engine and EU-made alternator in a durable steel chassis. Its user-friendly design ensures easy maneuvering and maintenance. Experience significant fuel savings from optimized 1500 RPM operation. This versatile unit powers diverse aircraft (400Hz/optional 28V DC), consistently meeting rigorous aviation standards.

Each model combines reliable diesel performance with smart engineering to support your unique operational needs.
