Paxster delivers for Sandwell Council

May 9, 2025/in News, Press Release/by Admin

Paxster delivers for Sandwell Council: Sandwell is a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands comprising six Black Country towns. When Sandwell Council wanted to upgrade their spraying fleet, they were looking for something more modern to replace the traditional combustion ATVs they were using.

They made the decision to look for suitable environmentally friendly electric vehicles. Precisely fitting the bill, they have taken delivery of two Paxster eCompact Utility Vehicles. These are part of a range of electric vehicles built with sustainable manufacturing in Norway.

Fully road homologated and featuring an ultra-small turning radius, the Paxsters are easy to drive with intuitive controls and a semi-open cabin to shield the driver from the elements. This offers greater comfort while allowing maximum visibility to complete the task safely. At the core of the eCompact is a large 10kWh 50v LiFePo4 electric battery, powering sustained performance and reliability. There is also enough power to charge rechargeable battery tools in the field, providing up to 3kW of additional charging power. Thanks to the narrow-body design, the Paxster eCompact is highly manoeuvrable and ideal for navigating tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas. With its ample cargo space, robust chassis and a 240kg payload capacity, it is suited to an exceptionally wide range of applications.

Sandwell Council Paxsters came fitted with low volume, high efficiency sprayers from Nomix Enviro. The Nomix VMU is a vehicle-mounted Total Droplet Control (TDC) herbicide application system, which can be fitted to virtually any type of vehicle. The (TDC) systems deliver highly targeted herbicide application, with pre-mixed herbicides that are safe and easy to use, offering a wealth of benefits to local authorities.

The Paxsters were supplied by Midlands based ACE ATV Ltd. who took Sandwell Council from their initial requirement brief to on-site vehicle installation. Paxster units can be ordered with a host of options and have up to ten years’ manufacturer’s warranty. They are distributed to UK dealers by Staffordshire based BOSS ORV who specialise in off-road and utility vehicles in all fuel types ranging from heavy-duty diesel machines and electric ATVs up to 6-seater UTVs.
