Dublin Bus have some hybrid buses to their fleet, and they're a different colour to the yellow and blue we know and love.

The three new Wrightbus StreetDeck HEV 96 double-decker buses have a distinctive yellow and green paint job.

They'll massively reduce CO2 emissions compared to the other buses in the fleet, but will continue to have all the features that are on the Dublin Bus fleet.

Dublin Bus have said they've ordered more of the hybrid-type vehicles from ADL and Volvo.

Sharing an image of the new additions to the fleet, Dublin Bus said that they will enter the fleet in the coming weeks.

They said: "While the distinctive two-tone green & yellow livery is new, features like low-floor offering easy access for all passengers, a dedicated wheelchair space, a dedicated buggy space with fold-up seats, priority seating & USB charging sockets will be familiar to Dublin Bus customers.

"Under the skin a raft of new electrically-powered components work together to capture the energy that is lost as heat during braking in order to reduce the amount of work that the low-emission Euro VI diesel engine has to do to propel the bus & power the on-board facilities.

"Together with automatic engine stop-start technology that switches-off the engine while the bus is stationary, the powertrain on board the new buses can deliver fuel savings of at least 30%, producing less CO2 and helping to improve air quality."
