Australia Post has decided to rely on electric vehicles from Switzerland. The continuous change with a steady growth in parcel delivery and the simultaneous decline in letter volumes places new demands on delivery vehicles.
Convince advantages in daily operation
The delivery vehicles made in Switzerland offer additional storage space and enable Australia Post to improve its services at a high level. In addition to the delivery benefits, the electric vehicles also offer additional safety. Bob Black, Australia Post Group Chief Operating Officer: "The vehicles are safer than conventional motorcycles. They are more visible on the road, more stable and have increased protection for the driver. All of this reduces the risk of accidents for our employees."
Deployment in different countries
Kyburz vehicles are not new in Australia. They have been extensively tested since 2017. The experience flowed into the further development of the vehicle, which has already proven itself thousands of times over at Swiss Post. Martin Kyburz, founder, owner and CEO of Kyburz Switzerland: "I'm happy about this order in a business sense - but I'm also equally happy that we can actively contribute to sustainability with it."
Kyburz delivery vehicles are in daily use at postal operations. In Europe, in Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Finland. The order for the delivery of 1000 vehicles for Australia Post in 2019 is another milestone for the Swiss company.
