€2.35m in EU funding to advance sustainable transport at Dublin Airport
The operator of Dublin and Cork airports has received the first instalment of €2.35m in funding from the European Commission under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF) programme. Daa said the new funding marks a major milestone in the delivery of the Dublin Airport Campus Electrification (DACE) project, which aims to reduce carbon emissions and support the transition to sustainable transport there. The DACE project is co-funded by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). The project will see the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the airport campus, including chargers for landside shuttle buses, EV charging stations for light vehicles and airside shuttle buses as well as charging infrastructure for ground service equipment. The €2.35m grant is part of a wider funding package secured through the CEF AFIF 2024–2025 call, which supports the deployment of alternative fuel infrastructure. The total funding secured by daa for the DACE project is €4.7m. "This is great news for the business and for our passengers," Kenny Jacobs, daa's CEO, said. "We're focused on making meaningful progress in sustainable airport operations, and this funding from the European Commission enables us to take another significant step forward," he said. "It's a win for the environment, for innovation, and for Ireland's contribution to a more sustainable transport future," he added. "The Dublin Airport Campus Electrification project is a significant step towards decarbonising airport activities. This project is a concrete contribution to the energy transition in transport to reach climate neutrality in 2050," Richard Ferrer, Head of Alternative Fuels sector at CINEA, the Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, said. "With more than €4.7m grant provided by the Connecting Europe Facility (AFIF), the European Union will support the installation of electric charging infrastructure to enhance airport's overall sustainability," he added.

Fast chargers at Auchan
The 300 kW ultra-fast charging stations of MVM Mobiliti are now available to customers at ten locations across the country. MVM Mobiliti's first project supported by the EU's CINEA organisation has been successfully completed on time. The project, with a total cost of more than HUF 1.2 billion, was completed within 36 months of the grant agreement being signed. MVM Mobiliti installed two 300 kW charging stations equipped with double 150 kW charging plugs at each of the ten locations specified in the contract. With the help of powerful, modern charging stations, charging an electric car from 10 to 80% takes around 15 minutes on average, with which more than 300 kilometres can be covered. As part of the project, MVM Mobiliti installed charging stations in the car parks of ten Auchan shops in the following cities: Székesfehérvár, Dunakeszi, Maglód, Budakalász, Fót, Szolnok, Törökbálint, Kecskemét, Miskolc and Csömör.
