A €1.35M project offering e-cars, e-bikes and e-cargo bikes for shared use is being launched in four tourist hotspots.
Hubs, complete with charging facilities, will be set up in Dublin, Galway, Sligo and Donegal as part of the ROBUST project.
Trinity College and Atlantic Technological University researchers, ESB and Enterprise Rent a Car are behind the three year pilot scheme.
