Council employees get Mobility Hub for electric cars and e-bikes

Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Dublin City Council (DCC) have launched a Mobility Hub pilot as part of the Smart Dublin initiative, in partnership with Enterprise Ireland’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Programme.

Under the project, Enterprise Rent-A-Car will provide a shared electric car and e-bike service at the council’s Wood Quay offices, helping to reduce congestion, free up parking spaces and encourage Council employees to adopt healthier ways to commute.

The dedicated vehicles – three Nissan Leaf electric cars and five e-bikes – are available to employees during the workday. DCC team members can reserve vehicles through a smartphone app, their laptop or PC, and can view real time information on vehicle availability.

Access is provided through a PIN that is generated each time a user books a car or bike.
