M-Budget on the up

1 / 5

2005 is a year predominated by M-Budget products. In January, another 50 items are added to the product range, including the Fiat Panda. 75 Fiat Pandas enhance the vehicle fleet of Mobility, the Swiss car-sharing firm that provides car hire nationwide at attractive conditions. A study indicates that the M-Budget line is the fastest-growing brand of the last ten years. The discount line in distinctive green packaging is easy for consumers to recognise. M-Budget products are now available in all ranges, including micasa, Do it + Garden, melectronics and SportXX. On 1 December, the 35-year-old shunting locomotive from the operations centre in Gossau, St. Gallen, is repainted in the iconic M-Budget colours and enters service as the "Budgetlina".
