We have achieved many successes in a short time. After Jest Electric and Atak Electric models, we presented our main focus, Autonomous Atak Electric, to the world.

In a short time, we will bring our new fully electric vehicles, 12 and 18 meters in size, to the roads. In this context, we started the production of our 12-meter 100 percent electric model. We are counting down the days to officially launch it very soon.”
