Otokar, the leader of the Turkish bus market for 13 years, debuted its electric bus range, featuring models from 6mt to 19mt, at Busworld Türkiye 2022. Otokar also unveiled its 6mt bus series CENTRO during the exhibition.

Türkiye’s pioneering and leading bus brand Otokar debuted its electric bus range, featuring models from 6mt to 19mt, at Busworld Türkiye 2022 on 26-28 May 2022. The 6mt bus e-CENTRO and the 19mt articulated bus e-KENT became the highlights of the exhibition.

During the exhibition, Otokar exhibited e-CENTRO as the electric version of its new product range, CENTRO. With its compact size, e-CENTRO offers an environment-friendly and accessible solution for historical districts and touristic areas of cities with narrow streets, and zero emission zones.

e-CENTRO is available in two lengths: 6 and 6.6 meters. Its compact dimensions provides high maneuverability. With an electric motor with a maximum power of 200 kW and a maximum torque of 1200 Nm, the 6.6mt e-CENTRO does not compromise performance even on the steepest hills. The bus stands out with its lightness and lower operating costs, providing reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and better range for public transport operators. The 110 kW Li-ion NMC batteries of e-Centro can be fully charged in as short as 1.5 hours, offering a range of 200 km on a single charge. Onboard charging is also available. Furthermore, the regenerative braking feature enables up to 25 percent energy recovery from braking and deceleration in urban traffic.

Positioning the batteries under the floor creates wide and spacious interior and enables the bus to carry up to 32 passengers. Featuring a low-floor design, e-CENTRO delivers comfortable rides for all passengers, including people with disabilities or those with strollers.

The compact design of e-CENTRO is a nod to the Otokar’s iconic minibuses of Türkiye in the 70s.
