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.”
