Electric dreams

In a world first, the all-electric Tesla Model X P100D SUV successfully towed a Qantas 787-9 Dreamliner as part of a Guinness World Record attempt. The successful tow was the heaviest aircraft tow by an electric production passenger vehicle ever. The car pulled the 130 tonne aircraft using its dual electric motors to generate sufficient torque to move the 787 almost 300 metres. Qantas is already using electric aircraft tugs at Sydney and Canberra and is aiming to use more electric vehicles as part of its plan to reduce greenhouse emissions.
