 Interview 

“We develop services for public transport, internal logistics and business customers.”

PostBus is developing services specifically for public transport, internal logistics and business customers in order to meet changing and growing market needs. Electrification of the vehicle fleet continues to be a priority.

Interview with Christian Plüss, Head of Mobility Services:

Needs-orientated solutions for flexible, sustainable mobility

Instead of running to a fixed timetable, PostBus vehicles accept individual orders made by app or telephone: with on-demand, PostBus picks people up where they are and takes them where they want to go. In 2024, PostBus launched various needs-orientated projects.

Thousands of electric delivery vans in use for deliveries

Swiss Post has started operation of its thousandth delivery van with an electric drive system, further expanding its electric fleet and moving closer to its target of fossil-free delivery of parcels and letters throughout Switzerland from 2030. With over 7,000 electric vehicles, Swiss Post already has the biggest electric fleet in Switzerland. Procurement and management of the vehicles is the responsibility of the fleet service provider Post Company Cars.

Making company mobility multimodal and sustainable

In 2024, Post Company Cars and Urban Connect entered into a partnership to offer companies holistic, multimodal and sustainable mobility solutions. They are planing to create a joint platform to give employees of business customers flexible access to an ecosystem of low-emission vehicles such as electric cars, scooters and bikes, which can all be booked using a single app. The platform will also allow easy integration of existing vehicle fleets and the measurement of capacity utilization and emissions.

Fast help: PostBus ensures mobility following storms

Following the storms in summer 2024, PostBus used a number of emergency approaches to maintain mobility: after the mudslide in the Saas Valley, for example, a replacement timetable to Stalden was quickly put in place and an emergency timetable with available buses and staff was organized for the part of the valley that had been cut off. In Misox, where parts of the A13 were damaged, PostBus staff also made special efforts with replacement timetables and shuttle buses. In Brienz, Canton of Bern, PostBus provided a rail replacement service following the interruption of the Interlaken Ost–Meiringen railway line.
