Bjørnar's Transport has used Elton since their first electric truck

Bjørnar's Transport AS started in 2000 and today has over 40 employees and 80 trucks, 13 of them electric. They focus heavily on modern vehicles and digital solutions, which is why they chose Elton Business for charging. "Apps are the future," says a satisfied Bjørnar about the choice.

In 2022, Elton launched its business solution for companies that charge in connection with work. That same year, Bjørnar's had just purchased their first electric truck and needed access to as many charging stations as possible, along with a simple payment solution. They settled on Elton, which allowed each driver to easily find charging stations and charge via an app. Additionally, all expenses come on a single invoice, without outlays, receipts, and charging cards. They are still very satisfied with this.

"Elton is very convenient to use, it's that simple. We bought our first electric truck in 2022 and were very curious about how to solve charging. We had a chat with Elton, quickly received advice and information, and since that day we have been charging with Elton," says Bjørnar Andre Pedersen.

"Today we have 13 electric trucks, but soon we will have 19. We drive throughout Western Norway, and each electric truck needs to charge once or twice a day. That quickly adds up to quite a bit of charging. We depend on having good coverage along the road and a secure charging experience. We get that with Elton."

Elton makes charging at work simple

Elton brings together several charging companies under one roof and has recently added both Mer and Tesla as operators. This means that companies charging with Elton in Norway get 83% charging coverage in a single app.

Elton's charging solution is app-based. This means that employees easily charge via the Elton app with invoice as a payment method, without outlays and handling of receipts.

Bjørnar is very positive about the experience they get by charging with an app versus a charging card or tag. "I hate tags; apps are the future. Having everything in one app is incredibly comfortable; we don't need to keep track of another payment method; we just need our mobile phone." Tags can be lost, mixed up, and placed in the wrong vehicle. The phone, however, most people keep on their person at all times.

Easy self-service

Last autumn, Elton launched a self-service solution to allow businesses to add users themselves, arrange invoices, and track costs. Bjørnar likes having full oversight of the business plan and thinks the portal enhances the good experience with Elton. "The portal is simple; you don't need to be a professor to work in it. You can work quickly; you see what you need; it's easy to create departments; there's good oversight. It's very easy to add people to the portal, and they can quickly and easily charge at as many companies as possible."

Recommended for business

"We have an ever-increasing need for electricity, and then it's gold to have good coverage in one app. I recommend Elton, of course. I wouldn't have used it myself if I couldn't recommend it, that's how it is," concludes Bjørnar Andre Pedersen.
