The Leffert UTV Trailer

Frisian Motors  has added a new product to its range: an electrically tipping UTV trailer.

The trailer has been developed in principle for use with the electric Leffert transporter, but can also be used in combination with any towing vehicle. If the trailer is purchased at or for a LEFFERT, then electrical tipping can be done with a button on the dashboard. For individual sale it is possible to place a 12v battery in the cart, so that it can be tipped. The cart is equipped with a boogie axle. This ensures that there is always contact with the surface.

UMCG trauma helicopter pad

The University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) has recently acquired a Leffert transporter at its location in Eelde. This transporter with a tailor-made trailer is specially made for the emergency service. With its double axle, the trailer is sturdier and extra weight can be transported.

This Leffert is used, among other things, to maintain the helipad in good condition. The helicopter must be able to take off and land safely, so good maintenance is absolutely important and the Leffert contributes to this.

Blue city car

This blue city car was built as part of the Elfwegentocht 2018 – organized by the Freonen fan Fryslân. This electric transporter has an extra large battery pack, which increases the range to approximately a maximum of 200 kilometers. In addition, this Leffert has special tires for road use instead of the usual coarse tires for off-road use.
This Leffert will be used for promotional purposes in the city center of Leeuwarden during 2019.

Hydrogen car in collaboration with Friese Poort

There are several techniques to move a vehicle forward. One of these new alternative technologies is hydrogen. By combining our knowledge with the students of the Friese Poort in Drachten, we have made a Leffert with a range extender based on hydrogen. This Leffert has the standard battery pack and this pack can be recharged by the hydrogen installation in the trailer. This allows a greater range with minimal emissions and is therefore a perfect match for Frisian Motors.

Extended cargo space

Leffert FM-80 Cargo Lithium

The Frisian Eco Car was unveiled on Tuesday 1 July. This Eco Car was built by the students of the ROC Friese Poort with the knowledge and help of specialist companies, such as Frisian Motors and VABO Composites. ROC Friese Poort Centrum Duurzaam made the innovation workshop available and supports the project by purchasing materials and supervising teachers.

The chassis of Frisian Motors was chosen as the basis for the Eco-Car. The students develop a new structure in which composite material is used.

The innovation project of the Frisian Eco-Car is part of a larger project: Ecocity 058. In 2018, Leeuwarden will attract millions of extra visitors. Leeuwarden and the province of Friesland do not only want to treat them to culture, but also show the entrepreneurship and innovative power of the Frisian capital. Friesland is a frontrunner in the field of sustainable energy and technology and visitors can certainly see and experience that. An extensive program of electric transport along sustainable projects is part of Leeuwarden’s activities as European Capital of Culture 2018.

Combination possibility

BE Combinatie

The BE-combination of Frisian Motors brings a lot of possibilities to take your Leffert with a trailer to your desired job. This combination offers more loading space than the default Leffert FM-50 and is therefore able to transport more and/or larger items. Some examples of usages of this trailer combination:

  • Transportation on events
  • Useful while building events or tents
  • Transportation of cleaning items
