The eRod stands out and inspires: the central factor is the fun factor

Combustion engine was not an option
As a student he came into contact with Martin Kyburz as part of a project work at the University of Applied Science Berne in Biel and his idea for the construction of an electric passport vehicle. "Personally, I would have been happy about a petrol engine, but the idea came from Martin Kyburz - a combustion engine was never an option," says Daniel Wenger, who at the time did not think much of electric vehicles.

"Today I know what we can get out of the vehicle with this power and see a lot differently. "The low seating position and the lack of a windscreen give the car its unique driving feel," says Daniel Wenger. The otherwise rather quiet guy then begins to talk about reactions: "The eRod is extremely striking. The people on the roadside react, they think it's cool. Already twice during a red phase at a traffic light the driver behind me got out and came forward for a short conversation"

New projects in sight 
The 24-year-old will continue to be interested in accompanying a project from start to finish. Will it be a sports car again? "It may, but it doesn't have to. It will be electric, that is the future!

What I particularly appreciate about the way KYBURZ works is the fact that there is a boss who is present and with whom you can talk". A CEO whom he would see once a year would be less appealing to him. The Frenchman feels at home in German-speaking Switzerland and can even imagine living and working abroad for a while. "But at some point it will probably draw me back to Welschland.
