A simpler workday for Vestlandshallen with the Paxster Stretch


28. May 2025

When Vestlandshallen in Bergen, Norway, needed to replace an old gas-powered vehicle, they were looking for something easier to operate, more reliable, and better suited to today’s operational demands. Their choice fell on the Paxster Stretch – and they haven’t looked back.

One vehicle for every job – all year round

Thanks to its flexible design and fully electric drivetrain, the Paxster Stretch has proven to be a versatile workhorse that performs just as well in the summer as it does in snowy winter conditions.

Today, the vehicle is used for a wide range of tasks in and around the Vestlandshallen sports complex:

“We use it for maintaining our artificial turf, transporting equipment and goods, and especially for snow clearing during winter. It also serves as a mobile power bank.”

Reliable and extremely easy to use

What Føllesdal values most is the vehicle’s ease of use and reliability. “It just always starts. And it’s so easy to operate that all staff can use it without any extensive training”, Føllesdal continues.

That’s exactly what the Paxster is built for: professional use with high uptime and intuitive controls—without noise or unnecessary complexity. By installing an inverter, as Vestlandshallen did, you also gain access to portable power anytime, anywhere. As Føllesdal puts it, it becomes a mobile battery bank.

Lower costs, less hassle

It’s not just about comfort and functionality—it’s also about cost-efficiency.

“We no longer worry about fuel, and that makes our operations smoother and more efficient. We’re saving both time and money.”

For many Paxster customers, including Vestlandshallen, going electric is about more than just sustainability—it’s about smarter operations and reduced downtime.

Highly recommended – just try it

We know many are still hesitant about using electric utility vehicles in demanding work environments. But both our experience—and more importantly, our customers’—shows that it works year-round.

“We’ve only had positive experiences. If you’re unsure, just try it. It’s simply a vehicle solution that works,” Føllesdal concludes.
