VIRV

Fantastic cinematic overview from Elayne Cronin, Ph.D. at Capital Energy that encapsulates the place, the people, and the problems facing electrification of airport ground support equipment (GSE). VIRV made an impact at the GSE Expo in Europe recently, addressing the fact that GSEs are attached to a grid and an infrastructure that cannot support electrification needs of today, or the future. VIRV is bringing one battery, one design and one platform to the industry through its Battery as a Service (BaaS) solution. Ditch the cord and take charge of your power. Contact VIRV today and learn how a swappable battery solution can address the attachment issues of today's fleets. www.VIRV.io w/ Nicholas Holland, Christa Zaharias, Ted Butler, Elayne Cronin, Ph.D., Carolyn MacNeill, Ammar El Attar, ClimateHaven, Greentown Labs #DitchTheCord #climatetech #batteryasaservice #airports #aviation #aviationindustry #Infrastructure #GSEExpoEurope 

Last Call at WAF! As things wind down today at the World Aviation Festival in Amsterdam, the momentum around swappable batteries is picking up speed. The demands on airport electrification are far reaching and complex, and VIRV is tackling the electrification of ground support equipment head-on. Overpowering vehicles is just one example of how a swappable battery system can address a problem that misses the mark. Overpowering equipment is a short-term fix that ends up costing more in both time and money in the long run. See what we have to say about it here. It’s been a great experience for Nicholas Holland at WAF, with many more data points to power the VIRV story forward. w/ Christa Zaharias #AviationFest #WorldAviationFestival #AviationTech #GSEElectrification #VIRV

Meanwhile, in Detroit…. VIRV is covering all the electrification stops this week! VIRV co-founder Christa Zaharias is attending The Battery Show in beautiful and bustling downtown Detroit. The show features the latest innovations in battery technology, electric vehicles, and energy storage solutions. Christa is taking advantage of networking opportunities, learning from expert panels, and experiencing hands-on demonstrations of cutting-edge innovations. The sheer size and variety of the show – which includes battery materials, manufacturing, supply and testing – is making it a worthwhile visit. But getting into the technical weeds with current and prospective suppliers, meeting with cell and battery pack integrators, and learning more about electrification complexities are what make it truly exciting. These are just some of the experiences Christa will take back to VIRV and weave into current and future product strategy. Check back for more updates from The Battery Show! w/ Nicholas Holland #TheBatteryShow #EVSolutions #eGSE #BatteryAsAService #VIRV

What Does a Swappable Battery System Mean for a Fleet? When you can swap a battery in the same way you might fuel a gas or diesel engine, it makes perfect sense. A fully operational, fully charged, reliable ground support equipment (GSE) fleet that eliminates charging downtime is a game changer for airports and GSE manufacturers alike.   Hear what Nicholas Holland has to say about the VIRV Battery as a Service solution in his own words. Or see VIRV at the World Aviation Festival in Amsterdam this week. Nick will be giving a presentation on Thursday, October 10, from 12:45- 12:55pm in the Start-up Theatre (Hall 5). Check out the VIRV stand in the start-up village or contact Nick directly and set-up an in-person meeting while you’re there: nick@virv.io #DitchTheCord and take charge of your GSE fleets with VIRV.  w/ Christa Zaharias #AviationFest #WorldAviationFestival #AviationTech #GSEElectrification #VIRV

If finding a solution to the electrification of your GSE fleets is leaving you drained, it’s time to check out VIRV. VIRV is disrupting the current decarbonization strategy for ground support equipment through its Battery as a Service (BaaS) platform. The VIRV BaaS solution allows companies to streamline electrification by reducing capital costs and providing predictable operating expenses.  The result? The ability to power fleet operations with 100% renewable energy. Learn about VIRV solutions first-hand at the World Aviation Festival happening this week in Amsterdam. Nicholas Holland will be giving a brief yet not-to-be-missed presentation on Thursday, October 10, from 12:45- 12:55pm in the Start-up Theatre (Hall 5). #DitchTheCord and take charge of your GSE fleets with VIRV.  w/ Christa Zaharias #AviationFest #WorldAviationFestival #AviationTech #GSEElectrification #VIRV

Next stop: World Aviation Festival. Nicholas Holland is hitting the road and taking to the air again – this time to the World Aviation Festival in RAI, Amsterdam. The WAF is a conference/expo for leaders of the world’s airlines, and airport innovation and technology. Nick will be on hand to speak, learn and network with other like-minded innovators in the airline industry. It will be a dynamic environment for anyone interested in learning more about cutting edge airline solutions, and Swappable Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) is at the forefront of electrification of airport ground support equipment (GSE) solutions. Going to the show? Here are a few ways to connect with Nick and learn more: -Contact him directly and set-up an in-person meeting: nick@virv.io -Visit his talk at the show on Thursday 10/10 -Check out the VIRV stand in the start-up village -Connect with Nicholas Holland and VIRV on LinkedIn and Instagram @VIRVLLC In the meantime, see footage and insight from VIRV hot off the recent GSE Expo in Lisbon! w/ Christa Zaharias World Aviation Festival 2024 October 8th – 10th RAI, Amsterdam #AviationFest #WorldAviationFestival #AviationTech #GSE #Electrification #VIRV

Attending GSE Expo Europe was truly an enlightening experience. Perhaps the most surprising (yet also validating) takeaway is that it reinforced why we do what we do. WHAT WE DO is create innovative technology that directly impacts transportation and logistics efficiencies, moving us closer to a clean energy transition. WHY WE DO IT? It’s more than building a viable product and successful company, it’s connecting with like-minded people in the industry. We exchange ideas and share an energy that we all take back and use as fuel... scratch that… we use to recharge our mission and keep moving forward. At GSE-Expo we also learned that the scope of depth of need for electrification of airport ground support equipment is far bigger and wide-reaching than we imagined. We understood the pain points in the US, but with so many people from the EU, Africa, Asia and beyond nodding their heads and confirming similar bottlenecks and challenges – we know that VIRV is also on to something far bigger and wide-reaching than we imagined. Swappable Battery as a Service (Baas) landed squarely in the wheelhouse… scratch that… the driver seat, of the ground support equipment and airline industries. Connect with us as our story gains momentum and picks up speed across the industry, and the globe.

VIRV talks are taking off and GSE electrification needs resonate across the globe, at GSE Expo Europe. #DitchTheCord #Airport #Electrification #Innovation #eGSE

Keep the speed of refueling and lose the pain of charging. VIRVs BaaS removes the gate-to-gate charging infrastructure by charging batteries en masse from a centralized location – at the airport or offsite. Ditch the cord and connect to a secure GSE electrification strategy.

Today’s GSEs are charged via gate-to-gate, one port to one vehicle creating fragmentation that cannot scale. This strategy requires massive electrical infrastructure and causes millions of hours of downtime and delays. Downtime belongs on your coffee break, not on the tarmac.
