EMS supplies first Develon electric excavators in Ireland
EMS Machinery, based in Naas in Co. Kildare, the main dealer for Develon (formerly Doosan Construction Equipment) in the Republic of Ireland, has completed delivery of Ireland’s first ever Develon electric excavators - two DX20ZE-7 Electric 2 tonne mini excavators - to Fingal County Council.
A Local Authority, north of Dublin City, Fingal County Council has offices at Swords and Blanchardstown. Fingal County Council serves a geographical area of 448 sq km which spans rural, coastal, urban and suburban communities and is home to several key elements of national and regional infrastructure, including Dublin Airport.
Winning this tender from Fingal County Council reflects the trust in EMS’s expertise and Develon’s state-of-the-art technology. These electric excavators not only deliver superior performance but also set a new standard for eco-friendly construction equipment in Ireland. The arrival of the new electric excavators underscores the shared commitment at EMS, Develon and Fingal County Council to pioneering innovation and sustainability in the construction industry.
Seamus Flynn, Sales Director at EMS Machinery, said: “This milestone signals a significant step forward in the Irish construction sector’s journey towards sustainability. EMS Machinery and Develon are committed to continuing this progress, supporting stakeholders such as Fingal County Council in building a greener, more efficient future.”
