Plastic moulded parts for special vehicles

swissplast is your competent partner for the manufacture of deep drawing parts for your special vehicle production. As special vehicles are built for particularly unique and specific tasks, there are also high demands on the components. Thanks to our flexible working techniques, we are able to meet – and even exceed – these requirements for plastic components for special vehicles.

Plastic components for special vehicles: the Postroller

One application where deep drawing parts for special vehicles are visible in daily use is the Swiss Postroller. Here, too, swissplast made its contribution and equipped approx. 6300 Postroller with plastic parts. In addition to the high quality requirements for high daily loads on the road, the recognisable yellow colour is of course also decisive here. Since the beginning of 2017, all of Swiss Post’s two- and three-wheeled delivery vehicles have been battery-powered and run on certified green electricity from Switzerland. This makes them significantly more ecological than their longstanding predecessors. The electric vehicles require around six times less energy than a petrol scooter. This saves the company 733 kg of CO2 per vehicle and thus around 4600 tonnes of CO2 emissions in total each year.
