Joe Donoghue, Minister Catherine Byrne, and Conor Dixon of Renault Ireland.

Renault Ireland has handed over a specially converted nine-seater Renault Trafic minibus to Fatima Groups United Family Resource Centre in Rialto, Dublin 8, writes Trish Whelan.

Based on the Trafic van, the converted minibus will be used by the centre during the course of its work within the local community. The centre is the representative body of residents and projects in Fatima and Herberton, and operates from community development principles providing key services in the areas of health and wellbeing, education, employment, arts, childcare, counselling supports, information and advice, family support and advocacy, civic awareness and community development.

Renault supported the Family Resource Centre with the purchase of the minibus and also plans to supply an electric Kangoo Z.E. van to the centre for use in its catering service.

At the handover, Conor Dixon of Renault Ireland said: “We are thrilled to be able to support such a great organisation which does amazing work within the local communities of Fatima and Herberton.” He wished them safe and happy driving from all at Renault Ireland.

Replying on behalf of the Centre, Joe Donohoe, Projects Manager said: “Having our own Renault Trafic minibus will make such a difference to the many people, young and old, using our centre. It will make life a lot easier for us in providing quality services for all those who come into all of our programmes.” He added that later this year, Renault will supply them with an electric Kangoo Z.E. van which will enable their cafe to expand its operations with the aim of creating more jobs for local people. He thanked Renault and looks forward to developing relations with the company in the coming years. 

Pictured at the handover was Minister Catherine Byrne, Minister of State at the Department of Health with responsibility for Health Promotion and the National Drugs Strategy.

Opel’s Vivaro goes electric

Opel continues its electrification offensive with the Vivaro van to also be offered in a pure battery electric version as of 2020, writes Trish Whelan . The Vivaro-e extends Opel’s range of particularly efficient light commercial vehicles. Customers can then choose between two sizes of battery, depending on their needs: a 50kWh battery for a range of up to 200kms or a 75kWh battery for up to 300km (according to WLTP). With emission-free deliveries becoming increasingly important in urban areas, the demand for purely electric light commercial vehicles will increase accordingly.   The Vivaro-e is based on the group’s variable MP2 platform which enables the use of conventional as well as electrified powertrains. The Opel Vivaro No. 3 is available in three lengths instead of two (4.60 metres, 4.95m and 5.30m); has a 200kg higher payload of up to 1,400kgs and can pull half a ton more (trailer load up to 2,500kg). Most versions of the new Vivaro are also o...

Alcosense Lite 2 breathalyser for ‘morning after’

Christmas is the season of office parties and catching up and celebrating with friends and family. However, over-indulging the night before can mean it is easy to have alcohol in your system the next morning. Over 1,000 arrests for drink driving were made over the Christmas period last year and the new laws which came into effect over a year ago mean that first-time drink-driving offenders will be automatically banned from driving for three months if caught with between 50 - 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, equivalent to 0.22 - 0.35 milligrams of alcohol per litre of breath. Previously, drivers caught at these levels received three penalty points and a fine … but no driving ban. Now you can test yourself the next morning with the AlcoSense Lite 2 digital personal breathalyser. Designed in the UK by racing driver and businessman Hunter Abbott, it gives you clear results in seconds. All you need for a reading is to turn the unit on, wait for ...
