Photo of the week: Production team leader Fadil meets a customer in Ticino
Fadil, one of our staff members, spontaneously repaired a loose cable on the dashboard of a customer’s car. He happened to spot the fault whilst out for a walk during his holiday. The customer was delighted with this thoughtful service.
The first PLUS II system for the CMS in the canton of Vaud has been commissioned
The CMS (Centres médico-sociaux, home help and care) in the canton of Vaud will be using the KYBURZ PLUS II in future. From September, 22 vehicles will be delivered in stages. Ahead of the start of series production, KYBURZ has fitted out an initial vehicle to the customer’s specifications.
To ensure that the vehicle met the customer’s exact specifications, Steven Ramasamy, the fleet manager at CMS du Nord vaudois (ASPMAD), visited KYBURZ’s headquarters in Embrach, where the vehicle was jointly inspected and approved.
Together, they examined the vehicle in detail and the customer also took it for a test drive. During this process, a few minor adjustments were identified for series production, which will be incorporated directly into the production run of the vehicles for CMS.
KYBURZ is delighted that the vehicles will support CMS staff in their daily operations. In addition to the two-stage heating system, the vehicles will be fitted with air conditioning for the first time, offering even greater comfort and optimal working conditions.
1 August speech by KYBURZ CEO Stefan Breu
Swiss National Day, 1 August, is just round the corner. The highlight of the traditional celebrations in the villages, alongside the lighting of the bonfires (which has been cancelled this year due to the severe drought), is the commemorative speech.
In Embrach, KYBURZ CEO Dr Stefan Breu will deliver this year’s 1 August speech. Following a brunch, he will speak at 12:00 on the forecourt of the Reformed Church. In keeping with tradition, the topics will not be announced in advance. All members of the public are welcome!
Bern Racing Team celebrates its successes
Third place overall is a huge success for the ‘Bern Racing Team’ at the ‘Formula Student Switzerland’ event in Goms! KYBURZ has been supporting the team for years and offers its warmest congratulations.
2nd place – Skidpad (discipline)
3rd place – Endurance (discipline)
3rd place – Overall standings
The team has laid the groundwork over recent years and is now reaping the rewards with its ‘Ventura’ car. Securing second place in the Skidpad – just 0.048 seconds behind the established ETH team and ahead of the Technical University of Munich, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Delft University of Technology (NL) – is a outstanding achievement.
These results are the fruit of thousands of hours of development work, testing, problem-solving and teamwork by the students at Bern University of Applied Sciences in Biel. They reflect the commitment of every single team member. Several KYBURZ employees were involved in the team during their studies and gained practical experience which they now contribute to development at KYBURZ.
