Reading time: 3 minutes
20.02.2026, Last year, the AMAG Group continued to expand its solar power production consistently. By the end of 2025, a total of 64 photovoltaic systems were in operation on roofs and grounds of the AMAG Group. The installed solar panel area amounts to around 58,500 square metres, which is equivalent to more than eight football fields. Today, the AMAG Group produces approximately 12.2 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year and primarily uses this power directly within its operations, such as for devices and systems and for charging electric vehicles. Excess energy is fed into the public grid. Additional systems will be connected to the grid in 2026.
The AMAG Group AG is pursuing a net-zero ambition by 2040. According to the SBTi Near-Term Target, it aims to reduce its CO2 emissions in Scope 1 and 2 by 50% by 2030. Emissions in Scope 3, which occur during the usage phase of sold vehicles, are also expected to decrease by 50% in the same period. Photovoltaic systems on the roofs of its operations are a key component in implementing this strategy.
Expansion 2025: Seven New Systems – One Million kWh Additional
In 2025, seven new photovoltaic systems were completed and put into operation. Together, they cover an area of 4,704 square metres and have a maximum electricity production of about 970,571 kWh per year. These systems went into operation at the following locations: Zurich- Altstetten, Gümligen, Münchenbuchsee, Uster, Gamprin-Bendern, Aigle, and Petit-Lancy. The largest of the newly established systems in 2025 is located in Petit-Lancy; covering 727 square metres and providing up to roughly 245,000 kWh of electricity per year.
Overall, AMAG now operates 64 photovoltaic systems, whose panels cover an area of 58,500 square metres, producing 12.2 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually. By comparison, the area corresponds to more than eight football fields or approximately 225 tennis courts or about 4,680 parking spaces. With this total amount of power, an electric vehicle consuming an average of 17 kWh per 100 kilometres could drive around 71.8 million kilometres or 4,060 electric cars could each drive 15,000 kilometres. Alternatively, the same amount of electricity could power 4,880 average Swiss households for one year.
Further systems planned for 2025 are under realization and will be put into operation in the first quarter of 2026. Once all photovoltaic systems are in operation, a total area of 75,000 square metres will have been reached with solar modules.

AMAG Group AG
The AMAG Group and its employees are passionate about ensuring people are well on the move. We are fascinated by the individual wishes and dreams surrounding mobility. Our drive is to fulfill them. This attitude has accompanied AMAG since the company's beginnings to this day.
The VW Beetle, imported for the first time in 1948, made the own car affordable for an ever-wider segment of the population. Dreams became reality. People’s life horizons expanded, and they fully enjoyed it. All this and the rapidly increasing mobility needs with the economic growth of the 1960s and 1970s were foreseen by our founder Walter Haefner. Thanks to his visionary strength, he succeeded in shaping AMAG into the largest automobile company in Switzerland.
Today, the AMAG Group is a comprehensive and well-positioned mobility provider nationwide. We sell high-quality automobiles, ensure their operation in all situations, and enable people to fulfill their mobility dreams with our own leasing company and other services (including car sharing, rental vehicles, and parking offers). Our focus is the customer, always and everywhere. Drivers and corporate clients place their trust in AMAG because we positively surprise them time and again with excellent service, beyond quality and expertise.
