The Maxus T90EV’s are the first electric pick-up vehicles available in the UK.

They were delivered to the National Airport for Wales ready for three to be used at Cardiff and the remaining at St Athan Aerodrome by the car parks, security, airfield operations and bird control teams.

The Airport has reduced its carbon emissions by over 60% in the last four years, from 1,700 tonnes to under 600 tonnes of CO2 annually.

The aim is to reduce this by a further 50% over the next five years.

Mark Bailey, Cardiff Airport’s Director of Environmental Sustainability & Planning, said: “These new vehicles are an asset to our teams. Replacing the diesel fleet with electric is helping us improve air quality and cut our CO2 emissions.

"This builds on the fantastic work we’re doing as a business as we continue our journey to achieve carbon net zero.”
