After more than a year of daily use, the parking authority in Fredrikstad Municipality values its Paxster as one of its essential work tools — an eco-friendly and agile vehicle that makes everyday tasks easier.

 

Fredrikstad parking athority wanted a new vehicle for greener operations

We spoke with Einar Skavdal Karlsen, Traffic Manager for Parking in the Department of Urban Operations — Parking and Transport at Fredrikstad Municipality. They noticed a growing need for a vehicle that was more agile than a car in traffic. With its small footprint, the Paxster quickly became an option to consider.

 

“After recommendations from several other companies with experience using the Paxster, we also wanted to give it a try.”

Surprisingly easy to get around

“One of the things we really appreciate is how easy it is to get around with a Paxster,” says Karlsen. He also adds that you get a very good overview of the traffic situation when seated.

Customized and upgraded their Paxster

The drivers of the parking authority’s vehicle notice that they get a bit of attention when driving around the city. With custom graphics on the 1000-litre box of their Paxster Cargo, they are extra visible in the streets of Fredrikstad. ‘Yes, we stand out a bit more now that we’ve “decorated” it,’ Karlsen concludes.
