A Second Life for Vehicles – New Opportunities for Students
KYBURZ is strengthening its 2ndLife vehicle refurbishment efforts through a partnership with the Märtplatz Foundation. On behalf of KYBURZ, the Märtplatz team dismantles former postal vehicles, inspects each part, and refurbishes them for reuse. These parts are then used to build 2ndLife vehicles. When entire fleets of 2ndLife vehicles are ordered, KYBURZ handles production on its own assembly line in Embrach.
The Märtplatz Foundation helps young people with mental health issues transition into the workforce. In the 2ndLife workshop, Märtplatz offers apprenticeships to become a production mechanic (EFZ) and a mechanical technician (EBA). Former KYBURZ 2ndLife employees contribute their expertise and experience to Märtplatz. One apprentice has already begun his training as a production mechanic.
KYBURZ sells 2ndLife vehicles with a warranty at an attractive price. They are in daily use by private individuals, businesses, and delivery organizations in Switzerland and abroad.
