The DX2 comes in the standard colors Indian Red and white. However, all other colors are also available (CHF 1,530)! A green DX2 is currently in stock at KYBURZ.

White and deep orange are the standard colors for the DXP. Custom RAL colors are available starting at CHF 750. KYBURZ consultants always have a color chart on hand for you to choose from.

At KYBURZ, sustainability has never been just a buzzword. Using vehicles for as long as possible, giving batteries a second life, and ultimately recovering valuable raw materials this philosophy has given rise to the KYBURZ MultiLife concept over many years.

Now, Martin Kyburz has been nominated by Sustainable Switzerland, an initiative of the NZZ, for the “Sustainable Shapers 2026” awards. In the “Vision & Innovation” category, he is among the ten finalists on the shortlist.

We are particularly pleased about this nomination because it recognizes an idea that was developed collaboratively at KYBURZ and put into practice.

The Sustainable Shapers 2026 will be announced on October 21. Until then, the public can also vote. Anyone who would like to support Martin and the MultiLife concept can cast their vote here.

On this year’s National Day, Dr. Stefan Breu, CEO of KYBURZ, had the honor of delivering the August 1 speech in Embrach. The invitation was a special sign of trust for him after all, KYBURZ has had its headquarters in Embrach for just over a year.

In his speech, Stefan Breu drew a parallel between Embrach’s history and the development of KYBURZ. Centuries ago, Embrach’s potters used clay from the region to create successful products. Today, KYBURZ uses steel, electronics, and a great deal of technical expertise to build electric vehicles that are in use not only in Switzerland but around the world.

The materials have changed, but the basic idea has remained the same: recognizing opportunities, creating something useful, and improving together.

Stefan Breu particularly emphasized the importance of people. He noted that a company does not choose a location based solely on buildings, transportation routes, or general conditions what matters most are the people, their skills, their attitude, and their commitment. KYBURZ was warmly welcomed in Embrach from the very beginning. He expressed his gratitude to the community and its residents for this.

Another key theme of his speech was community spirit. Clubs, the fire department, and numerous volunteers play a vital role in ensuring that a community functions smoothly. The same is true in a company: what matters most are those people who are willing to take on responsibility and go above and beyond simply fulfilling their duties.

For KYBURZ, August 1 was therefore not only a special holiday but also a wonderful opportunity to express his connection to the new Embrach location and its people.

In the early 2000s, the CityEL was the best-selling electric vehicle in Europe. These small vehicles are now showing their age. Hansueli Schoch bought one and got to work.

Unfortunately, the batteries were deeply discharged and could no longer be charged. Batteries from decommissioned KYBURZ postal vehicles were to be given a second life in the CityEL. After numerous measurements and calculations, Hansueli installed the cells and equipped the battery pack with an active cell balancing system.

The CityEL is back in service and, with a consumption of approximately 6 kWh/100 km, achieves a range of 50–60 km on hilly terrain.

KYBURZ got to know Hansueli as a repeat participant in the CE Challenge and wishes him “Safe travels!”

Kevin Wicht has recently started working at the KYBURZ service department in Embrach. Kevin is a trained automotive mechatronics technician and has extensive experience with Mercedes vehicles. For the past four years, he served in the military as a captain in an air brigade.

Kevin is originally from the canton of Fribourg. However, he enjoys trying new things and has decided to move to the Zurich region. With a new place to live, a new language, and a new job, he now has a few challenges to overcome. That’s when he likes to head to the gym to unwind.
