The National Transport Authority and TFI Local Link Kerry have launched two all-electric buses for the Dingle/ Daingean Uí Chúis area, making the trip around the Peninsula quieter and emissions-free.
This launch builds on the significant advancements in Kerry’s public transport networks since 2021 as part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan.
The two buses, operating on Route 277 and Route 268, will cover over 600km emission-free every day and will provide a smoother, cleaner journey for the local communities. Both services were enhanced last December, improving connectivity around the around the Dingle Peninsula.
With no engine vibration or noise, passengers can enjoy a smooth and peaceful journey. The buses are equipped with air conditioning for both the driver and passengers, ensuring a comfortable
temperature inside the vehicle no matter the weather, while USB charging points allow passengers to stay connected throughout their journey. Additionally, the buses are fully accessible, making them suitable for all passengers.
The buses, Yutong E10 Electric Vehicles, have 422kWh batteries and have a range more than 370 km in real conditions on a single charge. The high battery capacity of the buses, coupled with newly installed charging infrastructure, will ensure that the buses are always ready for service.
These two buses are part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan, which is a major national public transport initiative developed and funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA) as part of the Transport for Ireland (TFI) Network
