DART+ Fleet
We’re investing in both electric and battery/electric powered trains that will allow us to make full use of the existing infrastructure while electrification is being progressed.
The first order under the framework will consist of 13 x 5 car BEMUs (Battery Electric Multiple Units) and 6 x 5 car EMUs (Electric Multiple Units). This will deliver 95 vehicles from the framework limit of 750 vehicles.
Iarnród Éireann expect to take delivery of this initial order from mid-2024 and enter service in 2025.
To provide for additional capacity and improve train accessibility, the new units will not be delivered with toilets on-board.
