The number of A-tractors has more than doubled in Sweden since 2019. At the end of 2023, there were 56,000 A-tractors registered – in these municipalities there are the most.
Since the Swedish Transport Agency relaxed the rules for conversion in 2020, the number of converted cars of a more modern design has been increasing.
– Now we see more and more Porsche Cayenne, Audi, BMW and Mercedes as A-tractors, says Daniel Odsberg, sales manager at Kvdbil, who has taken a closer look at statistics from the Swedish Transport Agency and Vroom.
The statistics show that the most common A-tractor is a rebuilt Volvo or Nissan, such as the Nissan Navara pickup.
A growing trend is also to rebuild heavy trucks, including those from the Scania brand.
– As a result, the culture around A-tractors has also grown, which creates ripples in the water, continues Daniel Odsberg.
