The Office of Public Works has recently ordered a 7.5 tonne electric van for use by the Furniture Division of the Office in Dublin and surrounding counties in a Research and Demonstration Programme. Apart from this, the Office has not entered into any arrangements for the purchase of electric vehicles.
The National Public Procurement Operations Unit has not awarded any contracts, or instigated any procurement process, for the purchase of electric vehicles for State use. The Unit has not been made aware of any requirement for such vehicles by any Government service.
