Today The Welsh Parliamentary Member for Aberconwy, and Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Janet Finch-Saunders MS, went along to see the first EV recycling vehicle in use across Wales.
After the visit Janet said:
“It was amazing to see this new state-of-the-art electric vehicle in action. This fully electric truck is the first of its kind in Wales and it is incredibly exciting to see it work as effectively and efficiently as its traditional petrol and diesel powered counterparts.
“With an increasing number of residents and businesses switching to electric power, it is clear to see that the green vehicle revolution continues to power change right across our country, and I am delighted that the Local Authority has followed suit.
“I hope to see more of these vehicles as they are rolled out across Wales, and as we all consider our own environmental footprint and look to limit CO2 emissions and combat climate change.”

Heddiw, bu’r Aelod o Senedd Cymru dros Aberconwy, a’r Gweinidog Cysgodol dros Newid yn yr Hinsawdd, Janet Finch-Saunders AS, draw i weld y cerbyd ailgylchu trydan cyntaf yn cael ei ddefnyddio yng Nghymru.
Ar ôl yr ymweliad, dywedodd Janet:
“Roedd hi’n anhygoel gweld y cerbyd trydan newydd diweddaraf wrth ei waith. Dyma’r lori gwbl drydanol gyntaf yng Nghymru ac mae’n gyffrous iawn ei gweld yn gweithio'r un mor effeithiol ac effeithlon â cherbydau petrol a disel traddodiadol.
“Gyda nifer cynyddol o drigolion a busnesau’n newid i bŵer trydan, mae’n amlwg bod y chwyldro cerbydau gwyrdd yn parhau i sbarduno newid ar draws ein gwlad, ac rwy’n falch bod yr awdurdod lleol wedi dilyn yn hyn o beth.
“Rwy’n gobeithio gweld mwy o’r cerbydau hyn wrth iddynt gael eu cyflwyno ledled Cymru, wrth i ni gyd ystyried ein hôl-troed amgylcheddol ein hunain a cheisio cyfyngu ar allyriadau CO2 a mynd i’r afael â newid yn yr hinsawdd.”
