Driving Dublin Forward with Transdev

Operational Excellence at the Heart of Sustainable Transport

Transdev was proud to attend Transport Ireland 2025, an inspiring event that brought together industry leaders to explore challenges and opportunities in building a more sustainable transport future. It was a valuable platform to exchange ideas and reinforce our shared commitment to transforming mobility in Ireland.

As Dublin continues to grow, so too does the need for a resilient and forward-thinking transport system. While major infrastructure projects capture attention, it’s the consistency of daily operations that truly earns public trust. That’s where Transdev, operator of the Luas, continues to lead.

With over 54 million passenger journeys last year, Luas remains at the heart of Dublin’s sustainable transport network. Through safe, reliable, and customer-focused service—supported by close collaboration with Dublin Bus, the NTA, and other partners—Transdev ensures the system runs efficiently and meets the needs of the city.

Our approach is built on proactive maintenance and a deep-rooted culture of operational excellence. By combining global expertise with local delivery, we’re helping to shape a low-carbon, future-ready transport network for Ireland’s capital.

Mulhouse Alsace Agglomération (m2A), Transdev, Tallano Technologies and IVECO BUS are launching a full-scale trial of a system for capturing fine particles from braking at source on urban buses. This French innovation, a world first in ecological transition, prepares the way for the entry into force of European Euro 7 regulations. 

Following the announcement of the project in April 2024, the inauguration of this operational phase took place in the presence of the President of Mulhouse Alsace Agglomération, Fabian Jordan, and the Chairman and CEO of Transdev group, Thierry Mallet. This is a world first, carried out on the Soléa network, the historic mobility operator in the Mulhouse conurbation. 

Press release

Download the press release

The first bus, now fitted with a particulate filter by Tallano Technologies, will start operating on July 1,,2025. The solution is being deployed on three buses, and will gradually be extended to 50 retrofit vehicles on the existing fleet, before being integrated into all new buses between 2025 and 2030.


Pioneering technology under real-life conditions

Developed by Tallano Technologies, TAMIC® technology captures at source over 70% of the fine particles emitted by braking. This technology is fully in line with current trends: fine particles linked to vehicle braking will be regulated by 2030, with the entry into force of European Euro 7 regulations for heavy-duty vehicles.


By 2050, non-exhaust emissions are expected to account for up to 90% of all particulates emitted by road transport, as exhaust particulates will decrease due to the electrification of vehicles, according to the impact study that accompanied the European Commission’s proposal for a European regulation.


The braking of vehicles, including heavy goods vehicles, coupled with the friction of tires on asphalt, is the main source of air pollution in cities via fine particles. ADEME has estimated that by 2022, more than half the particulates emitted by recent road vehicles will come from these sources.


A concrete response to environmental and public health challenges

Each internal combustion engine bus emits an average of 4 kg of braking particles per year, which, if not captured, are dispersed into the air and soil. According to the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), fine particle emissions from brakes, tires and road surfaces now exceed those from exhaust.

The TAMIC® system, protected by over 50 international patents, works in two stages:

  • The particles are captured by a groove created in the brake pad, and are then transported to the brake.
  • Retention of over 70% of fine and ultrafine particles in a filter.

This innovation, awarded a prize by Propulse as part of the new agreement between m2A and Soléa, is fully in line with the conurbation’s climate strategy, which aims to anticipate future standards and sustainably improve air quality for its residents.

Mulhouse Alsace Agglomération, a European laboratory for mobility and a true territory of innovation, is pursuing an ambitious mobility policy, while at the same time taking care to improve air quality, a major public health issue included in our New Deal Climate Plan. We are therefore proud to be associated with this project, in conjunction with Transdev, Tallano technologies and IVECO BUS, and to be able to test it on our fleet for the urban mobility network managed by Soléa in our conurbation.

Fabian Jordan, President of Mulhouse Alsace Agglomération (m2A)

 

We're delighted to be making a world-first contribution to this experiment in Mulhouse, a pioneering area in terms of ecological transition. This French technology embodies our ambition: to offer clean, innovative and responsible mobility, serving local communities and their inhabitants. Every day, we work to promote shared mobility that is more respectful of the environment and air quality. This innovation is a perfect illustration.

Thierry Mallet, Chairman and CEO of the Transdev group.

 

After 10 years of research, this operation, carried out in partnership with Transdev and IVECO Group, with the decisive support of m2A and its Soléa network, marks the start of industrial deployment of the TAMIC® system in the world of heavy goods vehicles. This is a key step towards making the system available in pre-production to all manufacturers and operators from 2026 onwards.

Jean-Louis Juchault, Chairman and CEO of Tallano Technologies

 

Award-winning innovation in 2024. In 2024, the Agence de l’Innovation pour les Transports launched the 4th edition of Propulse, a program to support and accelerate innovative projects. Three calls for projects were launched: Sustainable transport; Multimodality and intermodality; Data sharing.

    This special collaboration between TDLR and the IRRS brought the city’s rich transport history to life in a truly immersive way.

    The tour, dubbed the Har-Stone Explorer, paid homage to the historic Harcourt Street and Broadstone railways. Today, they form the backbone of the modern Luas Green Line. Narrated by Dave Rooney, Director of Operations at Transdev, and driven by Kevin Kavanagh, the journey was enriched by insights from Eddie Byrne, Luas’s first-ever driver, along with contributions from Lorraine Anderson, Deirdre Miller (TII), and others.

    One of the tour’s most thrilling moments came at Broombridge. Participants witnessed The Midlander, a steam train operated by the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland. Cameras clicked as this powerful symbol of Ireland’s rail heritage roared by.

    A poignant chapter of the tour unfolded with the story of the Grangegorman archaeological excavation. During Luas Cross City works in 2015, the remains of 1,617 individuals, victims of the 1832 cholera epidemic, were uncovered.

    As the tram glided through Marlborough Street, participants reflected on its historical significance. It was the former home of the Dublin United Tramways Company (DUTC). A surprise directional move at Beechwood Stop added a touch of excitement before stopping at Brennanstown Stop, currently closed to passengers.

    To conclude, the tour paid a visit to Laughanstown, where the ancient Neolithic dolmen, dating back to 2500–2000 BC, stands as a testament to Ireland’s prehistoric past. Nearby, the Tully High Cross and the rapidly developing Cherrywood area showcased the seamless blend of ancient heritage and modern urban planning.

    This unforgettable event was a celebration of Dublin’s evolving transport story. It was made possible by TDLR, IRRS, and passionate individuals like Mark Merrigan, Stephen King, and Neil Dinnen. It was a day where past and present converged, offering a deeper appreciation for the journey that brought us here.

    The Relevance of AI: Transforming Simple Geolocation Data into Reliable Real-Time Passenger Information

    For public transport applications, Pathway’s Live AI technology is specifically applied to geospatial and temporal data. For example, it enables live analytics of how vehicles are moving through a city in real time. Other data regarding the operation or functioning of vehicles can also be analyzed through AI.


    The benefits of applying Live AI to transport operations include:

    • Increased operational efficiency: More accurate and reliable predictions of arrival times, enhanced dynamic management of planned and unplanned diversions and disruptions, and new high-performance tools for operators.
    • Improved customer experience: Providing reliable, real-time passenger information, both in normal and disrupted situations to optimize user experience. The automated management of new arrival times when routes are diverted also reduces passenger waiting times and inconvenience.

    Pathway shows that real-time data processing and AI integrate seamlessly into our chain of business tools. The solution complements our operating and passenger information systems, without adding complexity or implementation delays, while guaranteeing reliable results. Effectively ensuring daily mobility requires expert use of the real-time data we produce, transform, and deliver to both passengers and local authorities clients. Our partnership with Pathway strengthens our expertise in this area and enables significant gains for the benefit of service quality.

    Edouard Hénaut, CEO France at Transdev

    The experimentation on the DK’BUS network, which serves the Urban Community of Dunkirk, has shown significant gains in terms of information quality. The accuracy and reliability of the information delivered has improved, enabling the disappearance of theoretical arrival times, better prediction of waiting time estimations and efficient dynamic management of unscheduled deviations. We look forward to deploying and offering this quality of information to our passengers daily. The DK’Bus team, led by General Manager Nicolas Gaillard, already has great ideas to introduce it to our travelers! Pathway is undeniably the high-performance solution for monitoring and visualizing our activity to become even more reactive and continuously improve the data we produce.

    Laurent Mahieu, Director of the Hauts-de-France and Grand-Est Regions at Transdev, President of DK’BUS

    Transportation is a dynamic industry, and an understanding of the real-time situation is critical for navigating mobility challenges. Applying AI and the most modern data processing to these challenges makes a very tangible difference to communities. We are proud to provide AI that reduces wait times and unpredictability, in turn attracting more people to public transport and boosting quality of life for residents of cities around the world.
