e-ATA 12 meter Electric Bus

Having left behind 58 years in the Turkish automotive industry, Karsan has been manufacturing in the commercial vehicle segment since its establishment, producing both its own brand and for some of the world’s leading brands in its modern facilities. Since 1981, commercial vehicle production has been carried out at Karsan’s Hasanağa factory in Bursa, which has an annual production capacity of approximately 20,000 vehicles in a single shift. The Hasanağa Factory, capable of producing all types of vehicles from passenger cars to heavy trucks, and from minibuses to buses, is located 30 km from the city center of Bursa, covering a total area of 203,000 m², of which 99,000 m² is indoors.

As the only independent multi-brand vehicle manufacturer in the Turkish automotive industry, Karsan aims to develop derivatives of new and existing products in collaboration with its partners and licensors, in line with its vision of staying one step ahead in the future of mobility.

At Karsan, the entire automotive value chain is managed, from R&D to production, and from marketing to sales and after-sales activities. Karsan manufactures its own environmentally friendly models, Jest and Atak, under its own brand. In 2018, Karsan launched the e-JEST, followed by the e-ATAK in 2019, the Autonomous e-ATAK in 2021, and in the same year the 10 m, 12 m, and 18 m models of the e-ATA family. In 2022, the e-ATA HYDROGEN was also launched. With these achievements, Karsan became the first and only company in Europe to offer a fully electric product range from 6 meters to 18 meters. Karsan also manufactures 10 m, 12 m, and 18 m buses for Menarinibus, and as of 2022, it has been producing Megane Sedan cars for the Renault brand. In addition to vehicle production, Karsan also provides industrial services at its factory located in the Organized Industrial Zone.
