Earlier this year Jack Scarlett, from the Fully Charged Show, visited Oslo related to the production of a documentary with the theme "How Norway killed the petrol car". He chose to drive a Paxster for his tour around the streets of Oslo. Together with the general secretary of the Electric Car Association, Christina Bu, he enjoyed a sunny day in the Norwegian capital.
Paxster is a Norwegian manufacturer of last-mile delivery vehicles for all-season proffesional use. Preferred supplier to Norwegian Post for more than 10 years.
New side fenders and a rear body will give the vehicle a fresh look and make it far more resilient against minor damages.

Larger mirrors provide optimal visibility. In addition, with a reversing camera, you will have complete control when maneuvering the XL.
We have always designed our vehicles for working humans, particularly the ergonomic cabin. As we introduce the XL, there will be less in/out compared to the traditional use of our smaller DELIVERY and CARGO models. So we introduced a comfortable seat to provide optimal ride comfort during longer rides.
The new XL cargo box gives you a significant increase in storage capacity compared to the smaller CARGO. For instance, you can easily fit a standard pallet. Here are some of the features to expect:
With the simple press of a button, the entire vehicle comes to life. Controls ignition, front loader locking systems, and rear storage unit locks.
Paxster is designed with two lockable side pockets for storing personal items or cargo.
The right-hand side pocket also holds the washer tank.
Paxster provide customers with a recommended daily, weekly and monthly checklist to complement the annual preventive maintenance.
In 2022, these checklists will be integrated into our Paxster Connect service, allowing you to have more control. Read more here.
Being a small and lightweight vehicle, we are using the basic structures to create a safe cabin with minimal deformation during frontal impacts.
The cargo box behind the driver, steering column, steering column support structure, chassis and front suspension all comes together to for safer environmental.
In the field of vision, we have applied automotive standard safety glass to protect the driver. The safety glass has laminated sunscreening and heating elements to remove fog and ice.
Outside the field of vision, we use a softer type of glass-coated polycarbonate plastic to protect pedestrians. For the vehicle body panels, we use ABS.
Each Paxster is fitted with a driver sensor integrated into its saddle seat assembly.
When the driver is not present, the sensor inhibits drive. The driver sensor also communicates with the automatic parking brake system, safeguarding the driver is sitting on the seat before releasing the brakes.
Powerful LED headlights provide drivers with a relaxed driving experience during dark hours of the day while also contributing to the vehicle’s character.
Our LED headlights also significantly reduce power consumption.
In the world of last-mile delivery, frequent start and stops represent the normal driving pattern. That means we should reduce the use of traditional braking, and rely on regenerative brakes instead.
A Paxster will sense the force you apply on any brake input (pedal or lever) and convert that force into regen braking action instead. This gives you increased range and decreased service costs – with no special attention needed from the driver.
Using your index finger to press and hold the reverse button does a few things.
Compares to a van, Paxsters physical size allows it to enter more driveways and narrow areas. Having an index-finger-operated reverse button makes going back-and-forth during turning much easier for drivers.
No need to change gear – just twist the throttle to power forward.
When releasing the throttle, motor braking gently stops the vehicles’ forward motion while recovering energy back to the battery. If you don’t release the throttle all the way back, you will coast freely without any braking action.
The throttle can be used similar to e-pedals in traditional cars.
For customers operating in regions with cold weather seasons, heated grips are a must-have.
Oxford – perhaps the world’s best manufacturer of heated grips has designed a specific version just for the Paxster.
Since the Paxster is designed in a way that allows you to store a significant amount of cargo in the front, your arms are often full when you come back to the cargo box for more.
The push-button is designed so that it can easily be pushed with an elbow or even your back. The doors open automatically so that you can easily access the cargo box.
Ergonomic seating comes standard on Paxster vehicles. Drivers working 8-10 hours shifts are completing repetitive tasks on a daily basis. The seat must provide good riding comfort, durability and most importantly, support the driver in frequent tasks, such as getting in and out of the vehicle.
Over an extended period of time, a poorly designed seat can lead to increased strain on the driver. Strain leads to pain. Pain leads to injury. And injured employees lead to decreased productivity.
A driver’s office is the Paxster’s cabin. It’s the place where s/he spends some eight hours a day, so it’s essential that every aspect of the cab’s design – from the height of the step-in to the shape of the control levers – is considered if the operator is going to be kept comfortable, and therefore productive, throughout his or her shift.
The narrow and low floor construction enable drivers to step in and out quickly and with minimal efforts. The floor also provide drivers with comfortably angeled areas for resting feets while driving.
At Paxster we’ve been focussing on how ergonomic design can boost driver comfort for more than 10 years. By keeping the operator at the center of our design thinking, we design vehicles that are truly made for the working human. A great example of that is how our cargo boxes are located in ideal lifting height.
No bending or stretching required to place or collect cargo.
