Local car-maker 'making a vital contribution to combating climate change' says AM

Welsh Liberal Democrat AM for South Wales West Peter Black visited Port Talbot car-maker Stevens Vehicles on Friday to see their range of zero-emissions vehicles for himself.
Mr Black said:
"The cost of fuel may be falling at the moment, but it remains clear that controlling climate change will require organisations and individuals to switch to sustainable vehicles more and more; particularly for short journeys around town.
"That is why I wanted to visit Stevens Vehicles to see their range of electric cars and vans for myself. With orders from Scotland, the Falkland Islands and from Neath Port Talbot Council, it is clear that interest in their vehicles is rising.
"As most of the journeys we take are within 12 miles of our homes, cars and vans like those that Stevens make which can go all day and then be recharged through a normal 13amp plug overnight are making a vital contribution to combating climate change. The car even has a top speed of 56 mph.
"What is needed to ensure that this vital industry lifts off in Wales is help with marketing, and for companies like Stevens Vehicles to be given access to the funds they need to be able to sell to the big fleet operators."
