Motivated by the key benefits of our vehicles, the City of Tønsberg – Parking and Control Section – became the first parking enforcement team to integrate Paxster into their daily operations. One year after delivery, we visited them to learn more about their motivation and experience.  

 

 

Paxster is replacing a regular car

Tønsberg municipality is satisfied that the 100% electric Paxster is a reliable work partner that replaces their regular car. It allows the parking attendant to perform the tasks faster and more cost-effectively than before. The vehicle is specially adapted for assignments in urban and local areas where sustainability, efficiency and ergonomics are important, and it is produced for professional players with high requirements for operational safety and operating costs.  

“Beeing in the city center all day, it is important that we do our part considering the environment. Paxster has an important role here.” Erik Lund – Head of Division

 

 

Took early action: Cutting emissions with EVs

To combat air pollution, cities around the world are increasingly restricting motor vehicle traffic in urban centers. While the city center of Tønsberg is not yet subject to such regulations, the municipality is already taking a proactive stand by switching to electric Paxster vehicles and phasing out fossil fuel-powered cars.

Driver comfort and ergonomics in focus

Specifically designed for last-mile operations in medium- and high-density urban areas, the Paxster offers quick and ergonomic cabin entry and exit—crucial for drivers who make frequent stops throughout the day. This is especially important for teams like Tønsberg Parking, where getting in and out of the vehicle multiple times per shift is part of the job. With its agile design and compact turning radius of just 3,3 meters, the Paxster excels in navigating narrow city streets and tight parking spaces, making it a perfect fit for efficient urban mobility.

According to Lund, the Paxster is also offering new opportunities for on-site inspections. The plan is to install a camera with number plate recognition (ANPR) software to simplify inspections. The vehicles were also delivered with automatic warning lamps, that activate when the Parking Agent has halted the vehicle and left the seat.
