The art of creating the post horn
Handmade precision from Emmental
The three-tone horn in Postbuses
PostBus fits up to 40 new vehicles a year with a post horn. The horns are produced by the Emmental-based Moser-BaerTarget not accessible company. Because the number is manageable, the staff there build the PostBus horns by hand. Moser-Baer also repairs and cleans three-tone horns, because they generally have a longer service life than the vehicles, which are usually replaced after 12 years.
PostBus disassembles the horns in all decommissioned vehicles. The reason for this is simple: the three-tone horn is a registered trademark and should be used only for its intended purpose in PostBus vehicles. This means that the horn has already been dismantled when PostBus sells older vehicles to used vehicle dealers. The fact remains: if you want to hear the three-tone horn in action, you should treat yourself to a trip on one of the PostBus mountain routes and ask your Postbus driver to sound the horn now and again – to the delight of passengers young and old.
