Martin Kyburz was given a ceremonial send-off after 35 years at KYBURZ. KYBURZ successfully showcased its vehicles and latest projects at ‘Suisse Public’ and ‘Eurobike 2026’. Arnold Schwarzenegger celebrated carbon-neutral deliveries in Vienna and posed for selfies in front of the DXP. KYBURZ vehicles were also in use at the Wand Festival in Chur. KYBURZ also bid farewell to its long-serving employee Ali Kücüker.

On Martin’s last day at work, the entire workforce gathered in the showroom in Embrach. Martin expressed his thanks with a few personal words for the 35 years they had spent together and then said goodbye to each and every member of staff personally.

For his final journey from the company premises, he got into his Cheetah and set off for home. The Cheetah is a historic electric vehicle which Martin Kyburz used to take part in the Tour de Sol as a young developer. The fact that he drove home in it on his last day at work makes this farewell a very special moment.

The KYBURZ team wishes Martin Kyburz all the best for this new chapter in his life and would like to thank him warmly for his tremendous dedication and his many years at KYBURZ.

The KYBURZ stand at “Suisse Public” attracted a great deal of attention! The DXC on display, featuring Zbinden’s new modular design, drew a lot of interest. Many employees from municipal and local authority utilities showed an interest in the vehicle.

The KYBURZ team – comprising Laurence Nève, Cédric Leuba and Lothar Seiler – answered questions and made plenty of contacts. The new KYBURZ sales manager, Michael Heegewald, also made a point of spending a day at the fair to see how visitors reacted to the KYBURZ vehicles.

The KYBURZ developers went on a team outing to the trade fair. Whilst visiting their own stand, they rushed over to the DXC for a photo.

The Vogt company had two stands at the trade fair. At the outdoor stand, ‘Fredi’ attracted a lot of attention: the DXP with trailer is a fire-fighting vehicle and can also be hired for events.

Österreichische Post AG has switched its delivery service in Vienna entirely to electric vehicles and the muscle power of its postmen. This makes Vienna the largest city in Europe where last-mile postal deliveries are quiet and completely emission-free.

On Heldenplatz in Vienna, Vienna’s City Councillor for Climate Action Jürgen Czernohorszky, Austrian Post CEO Walter Oblin and Minister for Economic Affairs Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer posed together, beaming against the sun. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Hollywood actor and ex-Governor of California, presided over the ceremonial kick-off.

The high-profile guest also took the time to pose for a selfie in front of the KYBURZ DXP. In total, over 1,300 delivery staff are now on duty in Vienna every day – on foot, by e-bike, e-moped or e-van – covering around eight million kilometres a year using purely electric power.

Austrian Post has already set its sights on the next target: by 2030, all last-mile deliveries in Austria are to be carried out exclusively by electric vehicles or on foot. KYBURZ Switzerland is happy to assist with the delivery of further vehicles and would like to thank Austrian Post for the trust placed in us so far.

From 24 to 27 June, the international cycling industry gathered at Eurobike 2026 in Frankfurt. The leading trade fair focused on sport, lifestyle and sustainable everyday mobility.

KYBURZ was represented at the ‘ECOMOBILITY HIGHLIGHTS’ joint stand, where it showcased the DXC (Swiss Post), the DXP Solar and the ePedelec 3.0. The new ePedelec 4.0 was also unveiled to the public for the first time on a promotional display. The interest shown by visitors and the response to this new product were consistently very positive.

A particular highlight was the visit to the KYBURZ stand by Kaweh Mansoori, Hesse’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Energy, Transport, Housing and Rural Affairs. During a personal discussion, it was possible to demonstrate the potential savings offered by the use of KYBURZ vehicles in logistics.

From 26 June to 29 June 2026, Switzerland’s largest street art event, the Wand Festival, took place in Chur.

The organising team contacted the KYBURZ marketing team to discuss ways of providing the street artists with spray cans and refreshments during the festival. Getting around by car was difficult amidst the large crowds of visitors and led to delays. In the past, however, e-bikes hadn’t been able to carry all that much. This is exactly where the KYBURZ vehicles come into their own: they are easy to use, quiet, manoeuvrable and offer plenty of storage space for spray cans, sandwiches or drinks bottles.

Feedback from riders when returning the vehicles was consistently positive. They would have loved to keep the vehicles for even longer so they could use them for the clean-up work as well. The next Wand Festival will take place in 2028 – and the KYBURZ-DXPs have already been pre-booked.

Many thanks to the Wand Festival for the great collaboration!

In 2015, the Service department was Ali Kücüker’s first posting at KYBURZ. He soon moved to Logistics. From the main warehouse on Tannenstrasse, he reliably supplied the sites on Industriestrasse and in Freienstein. Known as ‘Ali-Express’, Ali collected and delivered materials and was often quick with a joke.

William Dalpasso was Ali’s line manager for many years. He recalls: “Ali is one of the most endearing people I know. Always helpful and thoroughly honest! We liked him very much.”

KYBURZ would like to thank him for his many years of service and wishes Ali Kücüker all the best for the future!
