Why a Professional GPU Doesn't Have to Be Expensive
ELME Elektromechanik combines high performance, robust technology and outstanding value for money.

In aviation, reliability and safety are essential. But professional aviation technology does not necessarily have to come with a premium price tag.

ELME Elektromechanik demonstrates that high-performance Ground Power Units can also be an economically attractive investment.

A GPU is not a prestige product. Its primary purpose is to reliably provide electrical power – on the apron, in the hangar or during maintenance and servicing operations.

What Matters Is the Overall Package

For operators, the question is therefore not simply: How much does a GPU cost?

The more important questions are:

How much performance do I get for my investment? How flexible is the solution? And how quickly can it be put into operation?

ELME offers a broad portfolio of mobile and stationary Ground Power solutions – from compact systems to high-current GPUs. This allows operators to select the technology that matches their actual requirements without investing unnecessarily in oversized equipment.

Performance When It Matters

One example is the GPU 400/1600. It provides 400 A continuous current and up to 1,600 A during engine start, making it suitable for demanding aviation applications.

For applications requiring even greater power reserves, the APU 800 E delivers up to 800 A continuous current and 2,400 A peak current.

This demonstrates what value for money really means: it is not simply about choosing the lowest purchase price. It is about getting the required technical performance at an economically sensible investment level.

Availability Is Also a Cost Factor

Another important aspect is availability. ELME also offers selected Ground Power Units directly from stock.

For example, a GPU 400/1600 is currently available from stock and offered under special conditions. For operators, this means avoiding unnecessary production lead times and being able to put additional capacity into operation quickly.

After all, a GPU that is ordered today but cannot be deployed for months does more than create a delivery delay – it also ties up capital and can affect operational processes.

Professional Technology Doesn't Have to Be Overpriced

ELME follows a clear, practical approach: robust aviation technology, tailored to the actual requirements of the customer and combined with an attractive price-performance ratio.

The portfolio ranges from conventional DC GPUs and high-performance systems to modern battery-powered solutions.

For operators, ELME therefore offers an alternative to the assumption that high-quality Ground Power technology must automatically come with a high premium price.

In the end, it is not just about what a GPU costs.
It is about what it delivers for that investment.
