The buses can carry up to 120 passengers per journey and serve around 2.5 million passengers each year.<\/p>\n<p>The pantograph system uses automated overhead charging arms to rapidly recharge the buses between journeys, allowing them to remain in service throughout the day without returning to a depot. A dedicated seven bay charging facility also provides overnight and contingency charging.<\/p>\n<p>The infrastructure forms part of Dublin Airport\u2019s wider Campus Electrification programme and supports its carbon reduction strategy. The project received \u20ac4.7 million in funding from the European Commission\u2019s Connecting Europe Facility Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility, while Aircoach invested a further \u20ac11 million in the new electric fleet.<\/p>\n<p>Replacing the previous diesel buses is expected to reduce emissions by more than 1,470 tonnes of CO\u2082e each year.<\/p>\n<p>The project adds to Dublin Airport\u2019s wider electrification programme, which includes electric vehicle charging infrastructure, LED lighting, fixed electrical ground power for aircraft and the continued replacement of diesel powered operational vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dublin Airport is expanding the electrification of its ground operations with the introduction of Ireland\u2019s first pantograph electric bus charging infrastructure.
