The roll-out of the schemes is being made possible following an agreement by Coca-Cola Ireland to partner with the Department of Transport, the National Transport Authority and the Cities of Cork, Galway and Limerick and will be known as ‘Coca-Cola Zero Bikes’. Through the partnership agreement, Coca-Cola Ireland will be investing €3m over five years in the project, supporting the operation of the bikes.


Frank O’Donnell, General Manager, Coca-Cola HBC Ireland and Northern Ireland said: “We are delighted to be in a position to help bring the Coca-Cola Zero Bikes Scheme to Galway, Limerick and Cork. Our investment in Coca-Cola Zero Bikes is part of our wider commitment to help encourage active healthy lifestyles and we hope this scheme will enable more people integrate cycling into their everyday lives, with the option of a healthier and happier commute.”
