Playing a leading role in the transformation of public transportation to electric and autonomous vehicles in the world with the vision of being “One Step Ahead in the Future of Mobility”, Karsan exhibited its latest models and technologies at the FIAA International Bus Show held in Madrid, the capital of Spain. Showing off its electric, autonomous and hydrogen technologies together at the show with its innovative models such as e-JEST, Autonomous e-ATAK and e-ATA HYDROGEN, Karsan not only introduced the vehicles of the future; it also announced its new structuring and strategic goals in Spain.
Karsan is preparing to operate in this market under its own roof by purchasing 100% of its representative in Spain, E-buskar. This move is an indication of Karsan’s aim to further strengthen its presence in Spain. The brand aims to gain an even stronger structure in sales and after-sales services and to become one of the most important players in Spain’s electric public transportation market by expanding its dealer network through strategic partnerships. Stating that Spain is an important market in Karsan’s growth strategy, Karsan Deputy General Manager of Commercial Affairs Deniz Çetin said, “As Karsan, we continue our work by strengthening our new structure in the Spanish market. We want to not only be present in this market, but also achieve lasting success. In this direction, under the leadership of E-buskar, which is fully managed by Karsan, we are focusing on providing our customers with the highest standard of service by increasing our cooperation with experienced dealers in the sales, after-sales, spare parts and second-hand sectors in public transportation. Our goal is to carry our success in the Luxembourg, France, Romania, Italy, Portugal and Bulgaria markets, where we are among the top 3 in Europe, to Spain and to become one of the leading players in this market as well.”
Playing a leading role in the transformation of public transportation to electric and autonomous vehicles in the world, Karsan continues to introduce its new technologies and services to wider audiences by participating in international organizations. In this context, Karsan, which took its place with a comprehensive participation in the FIAA International Bus Fair held in Madrid, the capital of Spain, made a show of strength by presenting 3 different technologies to the participants with its hydrogen, electric and autonomous vehicles. Exhibiting the European market leader e-JEST, the world's first and only Level-4 autonomous bus that carries passengers in open traffic Autonomous e-ATAK and the e-ATA HYDROGEN model representing the environmental vision, Karsan attracted attention as the only brand that can offer electric, hydrogen and autonomous technology mobility solutions under the same roof.
