Dublin Bus hybrid fleet are not the smoothest of rides.

It is simply not possible to comment at present on the Governemnt’s Scoping Report. It is hoped to publish on the topic in the near future.

In one sense from the sublime to the ridiculous. Has anyone noticed issues with Dublin Buses hybrid fleet?

On the upper deck there is a constant loud noise, sounds like a fan rotating at high speed. And it is especially annoying sitting at the back of the bus. Staying on the upper deck, there is also a constant rattle. Such a rattle for a brand new bus sounds odd.

Why did the NTA move away from Volvo Bus for engines and why did CIÉ agree to NTA’s decision to buy these buses?

The Diesel GT and SG fleet appear to be a far more comfortable ride as indeed do the older buses, all manufactured by Volvo.

The hybrid fleet, registered as PA and the new all-electric fleet, registered as EW are not Volvo engines.
