As part of the overall objective of developing transportation in a sustainable manner, CIE was requested to plan to achieve a 30% bio-diesel blend in all new buses. Dublin Bus secured a commitment from the relevant engine manufacturer, Volvo, that would allow new buses to be modified to operate on a 30% biofuel mix without affecting the warranty. My Department is continuing to work with CIE to establish how this target can be achieved for all new buses in the shortest time frame possible.
