"POSTI" goes for KYBURZ: the Finnish post uses different KYBURZ vehicles
“The KYBURZ vehicles are very manoeuvrable and have very good driving characteristics with studded tires on ice and snow.“
Finland, the land of lakes, endless forests, reindeers and salmons, loneliness and the taciturn population. We have this imagination in our heads.

Replacement for mopeds, scooters and ATVs
"The KYBURZ vehicles are very manoeuvrable and have very good driving characteristics with studded tires on ice and snow," says Kari Tuomola, Asset Manager. He attended the test of the Finnish Post "Posti" and is responsible for the Swiss electric vehicles in the far north. "KYBURZ vehicles are substituting old mopeds and scooters, ATVs, a lot of bicycles and some delivery vans," he says proudly.

The transport of bundles of mail to streetcorner boxes alongside the delivery route for reloading delivery vehicles are largely eliminated thanks to the large loading capacity of both the eTrolley and the DXP.
450 KYBURZ vehicles for Finland
More than 450 KYBURZ vehicles had been delivered from the Zurich area to Finland by the end of July 2018.
"We didn't have any accidents at work or in traffic during the test phase, nor did we have any technical breakdowns," Kari recalls. KYBURZ wishes a safe journey and efficient work. So Kari and his staff will soon be able to enjoy their holidays in silence in the summer cottage by the lake among the woods fishing...
