The delivery comprises a total of 15 vehicles of the Paxster Stretch model and has now been completed. The vehicles will be used at several of the City of Oslo’s cemeteries and will handle transport of equipment, plants, soil and waste throughout the year.

In addition, the vehicles will serve as transport between cemetery sites, placing strict demands on operational reliability, manoeuvrability and approval for use on public roads.

For NTS, the delivery also represents an important milestone in the company’s development. Norsk Tilhengersenter is a family-owned business founded by the Borgenhov brothers in Bærum, with its head office in Skui, and has experienced strong growth since its establishment in 2006.

Today, the company operates in both Bærum and Tønsberg and is experiencing strong momentum within compact utility vehicles, tractor-registered ATVs, trailers and professional mobility solutions.

“Being selected as a family-owned business for a delivery of this size to a demanding and professional public-sector customer means a great deal to us. It is a clear confirmation of the work our organisation puts in every single day”

Managing Director Kristoffer Borgenhov.

The delivery was carried out using electric trucks from Bring, and Borgenhov himself was present at the handover.

“This is a delivery we are very proud of. The requirements from the City of Oslo have been comprehensive and clearly defined, and the fact that our solution together with Paxster was selected confirms our ability to deliver robust and well-thought-out vehicle solutions for professional users,” says Borgenhov.

The procurement was conducted as a competitive tender with detailed requirements including zero emissions, safety, range, driving characteristics, payload capacity, charging, operation and service.

The delivered vehicles are Norwegian-produced, fully electric, zero-emission vehicles approved for use on public roads, featuring adjustable top speed, suspension at both front and rear, and adapted for year-round operation under Norwegian conditions.

The agreement also includes a three-year service agreement for each vehicle, with an option for extension, as well as training of employees in operation, daily maintenance and risk assessment.

Electric utility vehicles like these contribute to quiet operation, reduced emissions and improved working conditions in the municipal sector.

We are pleased to see that the City of Oslo continues to invest in this type of solution,” says Claes Eliasson, Sales Manager for the Norwegian manufacturer Paxster, who worked closely with NTS throughout the entire process.
