The National Transport Authority (NTA) and Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) have today signed a framework agreement for the delivery of up to 200 zero emission battery-electric buses. An initial order for 45 buses commencing delivery in 2022 was also agreed.
The framework agreement will run for up to five years and covers the delivery of single deck long length battery-electric buses. The first 45 buses are expected to operate services in Athlone and the Dublin Metropolitan Area.
The Enviro200EV is a product of the partnership between ADL and BYD Company Limited, whereby the latter supplies the chassis of the bus (including the traction battery pack and powertrain), for completion by the former.

So the NTA thinks it's doing a great job buying 200 electric buses but at the same time spends over €500k a piece on 55 of these diesiel guzzling monsters which run at about 6mpg in the city…..🙄 pic.twitter.com/O0bcD55wzb
