The new factory can produce 2,250 vehicles per year with the current workforce of 56 employees, based on a 3,800 square metre area. The company specified that should demand rise, another shift can be added to expand operations.

Paxters’ customers include postal service companies such as the British Royal Mail and the French La Poste, even delivering as far as the New Zealand Post. Customers in 20 countries have been served by Paxster so far.

Paxster’s XL delivery vehicle is available starting from €19,685, can reach a top speed of 60kph and has a “realistic” range of 80 kilometres. The load volume stands at an impressive 1800 litres, making it a solid choice for last-mile deliveries. The electric drive system can deliver up to 9.54 kW, and the 10 kWh LiFePo4 battery can be charged from 0-100% in about 9 hours.
