The Berlin-based PIN AG and the Berlin logistics company Urban Cargo have now started using the light electric vehicle type Paxster for their deliveries in the capital. Out of the worldwide fleet of 2,500 Paxsters, 20 are now operating in the Greater Berlin area. "In Berlin, we rely on emission-free vehicles that are tailored to the specific requirements of mail and goods logistics, which are very good at handling and safe for our employees. The Paxster sets a true benchmark and is also a cute eye-catcher!" promotes Bernd Fricke, CEO of PIN AG.

In addition, using electric vehicles with PIN AG allows standard mail, registered mail, and book and merchandise shipments to be sent nationwide with 100% CO2 neutrality. From the perspective of Roland Prejawa, CEO of Urban Cargo, the light electric transporters are a meaningful addition to the fleet due to their high reliability, advanced technology, and weather protection. Drivers appreciate not only the good loading capacity but also the agility of the micro vehicles. As a "white-label" logistics provider, Urban Cargo focuses exclusively on innovative, attractive, CO2-free transportation means such as light vehicles and e-cargo bikes.

Germany Distribution through Ökoflitzer

In Germany, Paxsters are distributed by the company Ökoflitzer. The manufacturer points to various research projects and the numerous daily operations in which the Paxster was up to twelve percent faster in delivery areas with sparse development compared to conventional transporters. The vehicles are also convincing due to their low maintenance costs. Especially the components prone to wear and tear, such as the clutch, exhaust system, or door hinges, are not present here. The charging technology is also simple, since the battery can be charged at a normal 230 V socket.

“The reliability of the battery impressed us greatly during the icy cold February days,” explains Roland Prejawa.

To exploit the maximum range of 100 kilometers, approximately 8-10 kWh are required to fully charge the battery, which results in low operating costs. Bernd Fricke adds that the first two units of the light electric vehicle have been in use with PIN AG since the end of 2016 and have been performing their duties without any problems. Service, maintenance, and other work on the vehicle are also carried out as on-site service at the customer's location.
