NTA orders 120 double-deck battery-electric buses

The buses are part of an agreement which provides for the procurement of up to 800 zero-emission battery-electric buses over a period of five years.It said the buses will be manufactured and assembled at the Wrightbus facility in Galgorm, on the outskirts of Ballymena in Northern Ireland.

Of the 120 buses currently on order, 100 will be used by Dublin Bus on PSO bus services within the Dublin Metropolitan Area and 20 will be used by Bus Éireann for use in the Limerick Metropolitan Area. "Public transport because it is shared mobility is already a far more sustainable and economical way of getting around, particularly compared to a private car that runs on fossil fuel, and the battery-electric buses that we are now ordering, will accelerate the transition to a zero-emission fleet," he said.

Anne Graham, Chief Executive Officer of the NTA said the transition to a zero-emission bus fleet is a central component of their BusConnects project.
