Brahamhelps tackle climate change
Warrenpoint-based electrical contractors, Braham Electrical has signed a £1 million contract to install EV charging and hydrogen infrastructure at three Translink sites, Milewater, Short Strand and Newtownabbey in preparation for 145 zero and low emission buses. The Citybus Zero Emissions project for Henry Brother Ltd, is part of the decarbonisation of public transport in Northern Ireland. Speaking to Ireland’s Electrical Magazine, Managing Director of Braham Electrical, Ciaran McQuaid said: “With the world’s focus on climate change and green energy at the moment, we are pleased to be part of Translink’s Zero Emissions Strategy and with it, continue to add to our extensive portfolio of Translink projects.” Representing an investment of around £66 million by the Department for Infrastructure, the vehicles will initially be deployed to Metro and Foyle Metro services in Belfast and Derry/Londonderry and are expected to be in service by 2022. The first three hydrogen-powered double decker buses ordered earlier this year are due to enter passenger service before the end of 2021. They will only emit water, no greenhouse gases or other pollutants, and are the first of their kind in Ireland.
