In an irregular series, we present the vehicle types from KYBURZ in our in-house magazine. What are their strengths? What sets them apart?

The DXP is the most commonly built vehicle type at KYBURZ. Exactly 16,172 vehicles of this type have been built since 2009. In Switzerland and Australia, it is the postman's vehicle par excellence. The ‘P’ in the name stands for ‘post’. This type is supplied to national and private postal and delivery companies.

One of the DXP's strengths is its agility. The most common version, 5.0, is 2.22 metres long and only needs 4.0 metres to turn between two walls. Thanks to its width of just 80 cm, the DXP 5.0 can manoeuvre between many obstacles.

The slogan ‘The new definition of postal delivery’ is not an empty promise. The DXP has changed delivery. Its three-wheel design eliminates the need for a stand. The DXP is much more efficient than a two-wheeler in delivery. The DXP also sets new standards in terms of payload: 120 kg (plus the driver) could not be transported on previous two-wheelers.

The DXP was one of the first series-production electric vehicles for the last mile. Stop-and-go operation is extremely demanding for vehicles. The asynchronous motor with fixed transmission and the long-life lithium iron phosphate batteries cope with these stresses exceptionally well. This is not just an empty claim! Of the more than 16,000 units produced over the last 15 years, at least 12,000 are still in service. Approximately 1,600 have been refurbished as 2ndLife vehicles.
