Offering modern mass transportation solutions to cities, Karsan delivered 10 units of 10-meter-long e-ATA buses to the city of Slatina. In addition, Karsan already signed Turkey's largest electric bus export agreement for the sale of 56 e-ATA buses to Romania. With over two million kilometers of experience with electric vehicles, Karsan aims to deliver these buses to two different cities in Romania by 2022. While Karsan modernizes the transportation infrastructure of many cities with its environmentally friendly, zero-emission and state-of-the-art electric commercial vehicles, the brand's electric vehicle fleet in Europe expanded to exceed 250 buses.

e-ATA, inspired by the Turkish word "Ata", which means the eldest member of a family, has the largest bus models within Karsan's range of electric vehicles. Electricity-powered by design, e-ATA offers versatility on so many aspects, from battery technology to load capacity, agile enough to respond to evolving needs. The e-ATA series, which come in seven different battery packs from 150 kWh to 600 kWh, can go up to 450 km in its 12-meter-long version, while fully functioning in actual driving conditions, which can stop and go, let passengers alight and get on, with the air conditioning working for a full day. Also, with its fast charging technology, it can be charged in 1 to 4 hours depending on the size of the battery pack.

The maximum battery capacity can be increased to 300 kWh for 10-meter buses, 450 kWh for 12-meter buses and 600 kWh for 18-meter buses. The electric hub motors of Karsan e-ATA positioned on the wheels provide 250 kW maximum power and 22,000 Nm torque for its 10- and 12-meter-long bus range, allowing it to climb the steepest of slopes effortlessly. The maximum power of 500 kW in the 18-meter-long version shows the highest performance even at full load. The e-ATA product range, which is fully compatible with the different geographical conditions of different cities in Europe, impresses with its futuristic exterior design. Its geometry offers passengers a full low-floor interior that promises unobstructed freedom of movement. Despite its high range, e-ATA does not compromise on passenger capacity. Depending on the preferred battery capacity, e-ATA can carry 79 passengers with its 10-meter configuration, over 89 with its 12-meter configuration, and over 135 with its 18-meter configuration.
