The name’s Rüssel…
Ruedi Rüssel!

You might recognize me, the gray elephant in the red and yellow overalls. I’ve been the famous face of Ruedi Rüssel filling stations in German-speaking Switzerland for more than 20 years. In the early days, I was simply the mascot on the logo, but I've gone on to become a beloved social media superstar and friendly lifestyle coach.

Say hello!

To receive one of my prized autograph cards, there’s no need for you to make a special visit to a filling station store. You don’t even have to refuel with us – although that's never a bad idea. Simply write down what you like most about me (or what I could do better) and I’ll be in touch. Elephant’s honor!
