The GIS Campus II event, held on 21 and 22 April 2026 in Hünfeld near Fulda, offered practical insights into the future of publishing logistics. The focus was on route planning and the optimal choice of transport.

Dr Frieder Herb from KYBURZ demonstrated how vehicles can make the morning newspaper delivery process more efficient. In doing so, he presented his potential analysis tool, which has been validated using real-world data. A key example: previously, two newspaper delivery staff would deliver the newspapers on foot in 120 minutes. With a DXP and a 50% time saving, a single delivery staff member can deliver the same volume in 60 minutes. As the minimum hourly wage is higher than the rental cost of a DXP, the investment pays off from day one.

Frieder Herb also invited Michaela Butz from Südwest Presse Logistik to contribute to the presentation. She gave a practical account and confirmed that KYBURZ vehicles are light, stable and agile to drive, and save time during delivery. Participants were able to test the vehicles themselves on site, which further reinforced the impression: reliable, robust and ideal for narrow delivery areas.

GIS Campus II demonstrated how innovative vehicles deliver real efficiency gains in publishing logistics. A practical success and genuine added value for the industry.
