The 2ndLife department has a new home – and is returning to a historic location: Solarweg in 8427 Freienstein, where KYBURZ developed and produced its first vehicles 29 years ago. There is a palpable energy in the air in the familiar halls – perhaps a little of the pioneering spirit of yesteryear.

At the rear of the building, used vehicles are carefully dismantled and the individual parts sorted. In the bright front area, refurbished components are used to build new 2ndLife vehicles – sustainably and with a great deal of expertise.

Fabian Rohner and Nishi Yogeswaran have used the move to review processes, rethink concepts and put many things on a new footing.

The division continues to evolve: not only are wear and tear parts now disposed of professionally, but five vehicles are also produced every week – a small but impressive series production with great potential for the future.

Not everything is perfect yet, but the team is working hard to make the most of the new location. Fabian sums it up perfectly:
‘Today, we are living the lean philosophy more strongly than ever.’
