In this issue, we show how the KYBURZ DXP makes a building manager’s daily routine easier and why 2ndLife vehicles create new opportunities for apprentices. We report on our partnership with FORSA Taiwan, which has lasted over 20 years. We offer practical tips on protecting KYBURZ vehicles from the elements, as well as exciting insights into the Zurich-Mülligen mail sorting center. KYBURZ also welcomes its new CFO, Kevin Müller.

“With the three-wheeled vehicle, I can drive right up to the entrances and don’t have to carry my supplies very far.” Avdo Kovačević, an experienced building superintendent, handles minor repairs, renovations after moves, and general building maintenance tasks.

His department head at the Zurich Family Housing Cooperative recalls: “The idea to use three-wheeled vehicles came from an employee.” Management was already familiar with the KYBURZ DXP from mail delivery. “It was a consensus. We wanted to make things simpler and more eco-friendly. Today, all employees are so enthusiastic that no one wants to go back to using a car.”

The seven KYBURZ DXPs travel at a maximum speed of 30 km/h. This allows them to use bike lanes without a helmet, and riders only need a moped license which even an apprentice can obtain. In the residential neighborhood, there’s always a spot to park the vehicle while work is being done. Parking tickets are a thing of the past.

Just under 5,500 residents live in the housing developments managed by the Zurich Family Housing Cooperative. There’s plenty of work to go around! The mobility solution for building superintendents using the KYBURZ DXP has been well received in the neighborhood on the outskirts of the city.

Shortly before the start of EICMA in Milan the world’s largest trade fair for motorcycles and light vehicles KYBURZ welcomed a special visitor on October 29: FORSA, KYBURZ’s long-standing Taiwanese shock absorber supplier, visited the Embrach facility. Company President Mr. LU was accompanied by Ms. Chang and Ms. Chen, who took advantage of their trip to Europe to make this visit.

FORSA holds a special place in KYBURZ’s history. For over twenty years, the two companies have been united by a partnership built on trust, within which they jointly develop their products. Thanks to this close collaboration, KYBURZ vehicles benefit from optimally tuned suspensions that ensure the highest level of ride comfort and maximum payload capacity.

The visit provided the ideal opportunity to introduce the guests to the new facilities at the Embrach site and to jointly analyze the performance of the current components. The goal is to continuously refine the components and tailor them even better to the requirements of KYBURZ vehicles. In addition, KYBURZ gave its guests an exclusive glimpse into future projects and product developments as a foundation for further joint innovations.

KYBURZ would like to extend its sincere thanks to the entire FORSA team for their visit, their long-standing partnership, and their continued trust!

KYBURZ is strengthening its 2ndLife vehicle refurbishment efforts through a partnership with the Märtplatz Foundation. On behalf of KYBURZ, the Märtplatz team dismantles former postal vehicles, inspects each part, and refurbishes them for reuse. These parts are then used to build 2ndLife vehicles. When entire fleets of 2ndLife vehicles are ordered, KYBURZ handles production on its own assembly line in Embrach.

The Märtplatz Foundation helps young people with mental health issues transition into the workforce. In the 2ndLife workshop, Märtplatz offers apprenticeships to become a production mechanic (EFZ) and a mechanical technician (EBA). Former KYBURZ 2ndLife employees contribute their expertise and experience to Märtplatz. One apprentice has already begun his training as a production mechanic.

KYBURZ sells 2ndLife vehicles with a warranty at an attractive price. They are in daily use by private individuals, businesses, and delivery organizations in Switzerland and abroad.

Part of the KYBURZ team visited the Zurich-Mülligen mail processing center and gained fascinating insights into its daily operations. Beat Bürer gave the team a tour of the facility and explained the various sorting processes as well as the logistics between distribution centers in Switzerland.

They got a fascinating glimpse into the work of a mail carrier who was preparing his route for the next morning. He drives a KYBURZ DXP both on his delivery route and in his personal life, and was able to share his day-to-day experiences directly with the team.

For the sales and development team, this was a great opportunity to better understand the processes and identify potential ways to optimize the KYBURZ vehicles.

Elia Mantovani is joining the service team at KYBURZ in Embrach effective immediately. Elia is a trained automotive technician and most recently worked at a multi-brand garage, where he was constantly taking on new challenges. At KYBURZ, he is currently familiarizing himself with the various vehicle models. Later, Elia will drive the mobile workshop to customers’ homes to service and repair their vehicles on-site.

Elia enjoys being around people. Staying in touch with his friends is important to him, and he makes a point of keeping in touch with them. He also makes sure to make time for sports.
