Electric precision built for urban delivery

VTD distributes newspapers and parcels in densely populated areas, running routes between 20 and 60 kilometers with frequent stops. For this type of last-mile delivery, where agility and efficiency are critical, Paxster has proven to be the ideal solution.

 

Paxster is incredibly agile in city traffic and performs excellently in varied terrain and weather conditions — even in winter. Our drivers really appreciate how easy they are to maneuver.

Lowest TCO in the fleet

VTD has tested a wide range of vehicle types in their fleet, but Paxster stands out with the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO). “It’s about more than just the purchase price. Paxster vehicles have low service costs — both planned and unplanned. Most service needs stem from normal wear and tear over time, not technical faults,” Remse explains.

 

Overall, Paxster is the most cost-effective vehicle in our entire fleet.

Reduced downtime, automated service

Thanks to Paxster’s fleet management system, Paxster Connect, VTD receives automated service alerts and real-time vehicle data. “We used to track service intervals manually. Now it’s all automated, which reduces both downtime and maintenance costs. With access to backup vehicles, we also ensure high fleet availability,” says Remse.

A key step toward sustainability

By switching to electric vehicles on selected routes, VTD has also taken a major step forward in its sustainability strategy. Paxster enables zero-emission deliveries in urban areas – a benefit for both VTD’s customers and their own environmental goals. “The combination of high load capacity, flexibility, and cost-efficient operation makes Paxster one of the most important tools in our fleet. I highly recommend it to anyone working in last-mile logistics”, says Remse.
