Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Bus Coach Sector: Discussion
Mr. Derek Brady:
From experience, I am aware that their energy consumption increases at higher speeds. They face the same wind resistance issues at higher speeds that all cars face. It is also down to the supply of electricity nationally and the proportion of carbon in the mix in the energy supply nationally. These would impact on what carbon emissions we would associate with their use.
