History and background of the Swiss mail bus

The FBW AN40 is a remarkable example of Swiss engineering. Built in 1951, this bus was originally used as a postbus in the Swiss Alps. It transported mail to remote villages and also offered passengers a ride down to the nearest town. In winter, the bus had an additional responsibility: it helped keep the mountain roads clear by being equipped with a snow plow.

Over time, this iconic vehicle was retired from postal service and later repurposed for wedding and event transportation. Today, it stands as an extraordinary Swiss Post bus that combines practicality with nostalgia. Whether you’re a collector or someone looking for a unique addition to your fleet, the FBW AN40 is an exceptional find.
