Aviaco - you may come across another type (in Brussels certainly) known as the 'powerpush' which locks itself lovingly around one or other main gear wheels and is remotely controlled on a lead by an operator who walks back with it as the a/c is pushed back. The aircraft taxies away from the 'tractor' which is then taken for a walk back home.
