Dublin Express has switched its fleet of coaches from diesel to hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) in what is believed to be a first for an Irish transport operator.

The Mobico-owned operator says the move will replace more than 80,000 litres if diesel each month.

It adds that the 21-vehicle fleet will see a reduction in CO2 output by 90% compared to diesel.

Certa Ireland will supply HVO for the network’s services, which link Dublin Airport with the city centre and Belfast.

Rory Fitzgerald, General Manager of Dublin Express, says: “The shift to HVO is a real game-changer for Dublin Express, putting the wheels in motion for the decarbonisation of mass passenger transport.

“We’re proud to be one of the first coach operators in Ireland to be leading the way in reducing carbon emissions and doing our bit for the environment.

“Dublin Express is on track to carry over 2 million passengers between its Dublin City routes and Dublin Airport this year, so the environmental benefits of HVO are profound.

“As we continue to expand our services and support our partners to meet their sustainability goals, we are committed to driving modal shift, encouraging passengers to ditch their cars and switch to more environmentally friendly ways to travel.”
