A greener partnership in Birmingham
The airport in Birmingham has plans to provide a truly ‘green’ transport system, and at the same time making savings on energy and life cycle costs.
“This partnership is a key milestone for us. We are always investigating new and innovative ways to reduce our carbon emissions and through the partnership with Volvo Buses UK, we can do just this”, says Nick Barton, CEO at Birmingham Airport.
The six fully electric buses are set to go into service in November 2019.
First ever fully electric bus to Ireland
The Volvo 7900 Electric contracted to Ireland will provide an efficient and environmentally friendly service for passenger transfers at Dublin Airport. The bus will go into operation at the end of the year on a route which operates between the Crown Plaza, Holiday Inn Express and Terminals 1 and 2 at the Dublin Airport.
“We’re really pleased that the 7900e has been chosen to provide services for these hotels in and around Dublin Airport and that it will be the first electric bus to enter operation anywhere in Ireland”, says Nick Page, Managing Director for Volvo Buses UK & Ireland.
