An all-electric Dublin Bus vehicle
An all-electric Dublin Bus vehicle
280 hybrid vehicles and 100 all-electric buses.

The all electric buses (code named EW) have no external mirrors, they are replaced with cameras with in-cab monitors, which gives all the necessary information to the driver.

If you are a cyclist it is actually a pleasure  and a new experience to behind one of the all-electric vehicles if it is stopped in traffic, at traffic lights or at a bus stop. There is not a hint of any billowing fumes. Even the most modern buses with combustion engines are no friends to cyclists.
