Over 800 KYBURZ vehicles in Hungary – a partnership with a bright future
Magyar Posta has over 800 electric DXP delivery vehicles in service. This is a great success that would not have been possible without the close collaboration with our sales and service partner, Marina Motor Kft. To further strengthen this partnership and look toward the future together, KYBURZ CEO Dr. Stefan Breu recently visited Magyar Posta alongside representatives from Marina Motor.
Direct contact with customers is important: KYBURZ wants to understand the challenges they face in their daily operations, the requirements they have for the vehicles, and how KYBURZ can support them even better in the future. The visit provided an opportunity to acknowledge the collaboration to date and to generate new momentum for joint development toward efficient and sustainable delivery.
A strong partnership thrives on personal interaction, mutual trust, and shared goals. The visit to Hungary has once again demonstrated how important these factors are for long-term success. KYBURZ would like to thank Magyar Posta and Marina Motor for the open dialogue and excellent collaboration and looks forward to writing further chapters of this success story together!
Stay Warm All Winter Long
KYBURZ customers ride their open three-wheeled vehicles in all seasons. As temperatures drop, it’s important to get properly equipped in good time. The KYBURZ winter gear:
- Knee blanket
The knee blanket is secured around the hips with a strap and draped over the knees. It protects against wind, fog, and light rain. Thanks to its inner lining, it keeps your legs and knees nice and warm. Available in two widths!
Item No. 910500.00 (Size M) – CHF 65.00
Item No. 910500.01 (Size L) – CHF 65.00 - Handlebar Gloves
Experienced riders know the controls by heart. The handlebar gloves are pulled over the two handlebar grips and secured in place. Your hands slip right in and stay warm even while riding, thanks to the lining.
Item No. 999150.00 – CHF 98.00 - Heated Grips
Heated grips work wonders in cold weather. If you didn’t have this option installed when you purchased your vehicle, you can retrofit heated grips on all modern KYBURZ vehicles. Contact the KYBURZ service department (044 866 40 40) to have them installed.
The knee blanket and handlebar gloves can be ordered directly from the KYBURZ spare parts service (044 866 40 90).

KYBURZ is making room for new products and focusing on its core business. That’s why KYBURZ is discontinuing the Esel line and you can take advantage of attractive special prices!
Get one of the last Esel e-bikes with its distinctive wooden frame now. The last available models are on display at the showroom in Embrach. Spontaneous test rides on-site are available. KYBURZ looks forward to your visit!
Traveling Through South Africa on Solar Power
The “Solar Energy Racers” team drove across South Africa for eight days, covering more than 1,500 km powered solely by sunlight. The Swiss team achieved an outstanding 2nd place in the overall standings at the “Sasol Solar Challenge 2026.”
Participation in this year’s race in South Africa was marked by a delay in the vehicle’s delivery from the Port of Durban. There was hardly any time for preparation. The first few days of the race were fraught with difficulties and required working through the night. However, their hard work paid off, and the “Solar Energy Racers” made up ground every day.
KYBURZ Switzerland has been supporting the team for several years. The Bühler Group from Uzwil launched the team in 2010 as an apprenticeship and training project. The team from eastern Switzerland has since become a fixture in solar car racing.
KYBURZ congratulates the team on this success and wishes the “Solar Energy Racers” many more races to come!
