<p>In 2005, the Irish Government announced the €34 billion <a href="Transport_21" title="Transport 21">Transport 21</a> proposal for significant improvements to transport infrastructure, with major emphasis on the railway network. As part of this, large-scale replacement of rolling stock was planned, then made up entirely of <a href="Coaching_stock_of_Ireland" title="Coaching stock of Ireland">locomotive-hauled coaching stock</a>, mostly <a href="British_Rail_Mark_2" title="British Rail Mark 2">British Rail Mark 2</a> and <a href="British_Rail_Mark_3" title="British Rail Mark 3">Mark 3</a>. IÉ ordered 120 replacement vehicles: in a major departure, the new trains would be 3 and 6 car <a href="Diesel_Multiple_Units" class="mw-redirect" title="Diesel Multiple Units">DMUs</a> rather than locomotive-hauled carriages. This order was extended to 150 vehicles in 2005, to 183 vehicles in 2007 and to 234 vehicles in December 2008.<sup id="cite_ref-IÉ_Fleet_Investment_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IÉ_Fleet_Investment-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>All units underwent an in-service interior overhaul between 2019 and 2022. This programme included replacing the original cloth seats with leather and adding <a href="USB" title="USB">USB</a> power sockets at each seating bay, amongst other changes intended to reduce ongoing maintenance and cleaning costs.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Supplied by <a href="Mitsui" title="Mitsui">Mitsui</a> of <a href="Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a> for approximately €400 million, the fleet was built by a partnership between <a href="Hyundai_Rotem" title="Hyundai Rotem">Rotem</a> of <a href="South_Korea" title="South Korea">South Korea</a>, who did the primary work, and <a href="Japan_Transport_Engineering_Company" title="Japan Transport Engineering Company">Tokyu Car Corporation</a> of Japan, who supplied the <a href="Bogies" class="mw-redirect" title="Bogies">bogies</a>. The first sets were delivered in March 2007, while the final sets were delivered in April 2012.
</p><p>In March 2007, a €79 million order was placed for a further 33 vehicles to be used primarily on the outer Dublin commuter network. This was added to with an additional 51 Commuter vehicles in December 2008. As of 2025, there are 63 sets: 21 3-car sets, 20 4-car sets 10 6-car sets (Premier Class) and 12 6-car sets (High Capacity), in four different layouts.
</p><p>Two of the 3-car sets, 22010 and 22011, were delivered in July 2007 with corrosion damage received in transit from South Korea. IÉ did not accept delivery and stored the sets until October 2008 when they were returned to Rotem for repair, with a revised delivery date of early 2009.<sup id="cite_ref-IRRS167_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IRRS167-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was later determined that it was uneconomic to repair them, so Rotem added two additional units to the last order at no additional cost to IÉ.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In September 2022 the first of 41 new intermediates were delivered, with the final delivery in March 2023. On 14 March 2023 millage accumulation runs begun for the first three of the new intermediate B cars utilising 22209 and 22309 as 'tractor units'

<p>The 22000 class was primarily ordered for InterCity routes except the Dublin-Belfast services operated by <a href="Enterprise_(train_service)" title="Enterprise (train service)">Enterprise</a> and the Dublin-Cork service, for which IÉ purchased <a href="Mark_4_(Iarnr%C3%B3d_%C3%89ireann)" title="Mark 4 (Iarnród Éireann)">67 locomotive-hauled coaches</a> in 2006, but they have also been used on off-peak Dublin-Cork services since November 2009. 22000 units have now replaced coaching stock on services from Dublin to Galway, Westport, Limerick, Waterford and Tralee, and <a href="IE_2800_Class" class="mw-redirect" title="IE 2800 Class">2800 Class</a> and <a href="IE_29000_Class" class="mw-redirect" title="IE 29000 Class">29000 Class</a> DMUs to Sligo and Rosslare Europort.
</p><p>The expansion of the Dublin <a href="Commuter_belt" class="mw-redirect" title="Commuter belt">commuter belt</a> led IÉ to need dedicated long distance <a href="Commuter_(Iarnr%C3%B3d_%C3%89ireann)" title="Commuter (Iarnród Éireann)">Commuter</a> trains, and so purchased additional units for use on services to destinations such as Portlaoise, Carlow, Athlone, Dundalk, Kildare, and Longford; as well as Mallow in the Cork commuter belt.<sup id="cite_ref-IÉ_Fleet_Investment_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IÉ_Fleet_Investment-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Plans by Enterprise to improve its services included the potential of purchasing DMUs to replace its locomotive-hauled coaching stock.

</p><p><a href="NI_Railways" title="NI Railways">NI Railways</a> was offered a variant of the 22000 Class to meet its <a href="NIR_Class_4000" title="NIR Class 4000">"New Trains Two"</a> requirement, before ultimately choosing a design similar to its existing <a href="NIR_Class_3000" title="NIR Class 3000">Class 3000</a> unit, which became the Class 4000.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The train was sometimes seen on the Dublin to Belfast railway line, on out-of-service transfer to Drogheda train service depot.

<p>As delivered, the first 30 units were of three cars, for use on InterCity routes, as were ten of the 15 6-car units. The remaining five 6-car sets and the 17 3-car sets ordered in 2008 were configured for long-distance Commuter services from Dublin. Combinations of two 3-car sets, three 3-car sets, two 4-car sets, a 3-car set + a 4-car set and two 5-car sets are possible.

<p>In 2013, IÉ announced plans to reform the 22000 class units from 3 and 6-car sets into 3 and 4-car units, to obtain better flexibility from them in regards to passenger numbers per train. However, it soon became apparent that replacing 6-car units with 4-car ones would lead to overcrowding, which caused IÉ to subsequently alter the proposal into sets of 3, 4 and 5-car lengths.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The 20 cars taken off the original 6-car sets 22031–45 and inserted in the original 3-car sets 22011–30 got additional numbers 22811–30 but also kept the original number 22531–540,641,741,642,742,643,743,644,744,645,745.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fuel_economy">Fuel economy</h3></div>
<p>There have been attempts to improve the fuel economy of the 22000 Class. In 2008 the class were modified to shut down the engines after a period of inactivity if the drivers cab key was off,<sup id="cite_ref-IRRS167_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IRRS167-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and in 2018 it was announced one three car unit was to trial a <a href="ZF_Friedrichshafen" title="ZF Friedrichshafen">ZF</a> transmission to replace the original Voith and it was hoped this might yield 19% fuel savings in some conditions.<sup id="cite_ref-RGAZ_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RGAZ-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>In 2018, it was announced that Iarnród Éireann were seeking to procure a further 41 new 22000 Class vehicles, encompassing three additional units plus a number of intermediate trailers intended to lengthen some of the existing fleet.
