Karsan Otonom Atak Elektrik

26 February 2021

Karsan held yesterday the online debut of Autonomous Atak Electric, ready for series production for Europe and USA. The first order was signed in Romania. The Autonomous Atak Electric can navigate through streets without a human driver equipped with LiDAR sensors all around. It comes with innovative technologies such as an advanced radar in the front, high-resolution image processing with RGB cameras and extra driving safety thanks to thermal imaging cameras. The vehicle offer a Level-4 autonomous driving experience.

The Autonomous Atak Electric was modeled on Atak Electric, Karsan’s 100% electrically powered electric bus in the 8-meter segment. Karsan’s R&D team worked in collaboration with the US-based tech company ADASTEC. Level-4 Autonomous software developed by ADASTEC has been integrated into Atak Electric’s electrical-electronic architecture and electric vehicle software. Autonomous Atak Electric was modeled on Atak Electric, powered by 220 kWh batteries developed by BMW that is capable of producing 2500 Nm torque with 230 kW engine power. The Atak Electric can carry up to 52 passengers.

Autonomous Atak Electric can navigate through streets without a human driver equipped with LiDAR sensors all around. Autonomous Atak Electric comes with innovative technologies such as an advanced radar in the front, high-resolution image processing with RGB cameras and extra driving safety thanks to thermal imaging cameras. Offering a Level-4 autonomous driving experience in combination with these technologies, Autonomous

Atak Electric can drive itself on a pre-defined route. Capable of reaching speed of up to fifty kilometers per hour in all road conditions night and day when in self-driving mode, the bus can autonomously perform tasks previously done by a human driver such as pulling into bus stops on the route, managing the passengers getting on/off, navigating through roundabouts, thoroughfares or traffic lights etc.

Offering transport solutions for the mobility needs of the century with its factory based in Turkey, Karsan held the online debut of its Autonomous Atak Electric. The first Level 4 self-driving bus to be operated on the roads of Europe and the USA, Autonomous Atak Electric was modeled on Atak Electric, Karsan’s 100% electrically powered electric bus in the 8-meter segment. Karsan’s R&D team worked in collaboration with the US-based tech company ADASTEC.
