Karsan eJEST Autonomous

Ready for North American Deployments

• FMVSS

  Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (U.S.)

  Ensures the vehicle meets all U.S. safety requirements related to braking, lighting, crash protection, mirrors, tires, and structural integrity.

• CMVSS

  Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

  Canadian counterpart to FMVSS — verifying compliance with Transport Canada regulations. Covers the same categories, including vehicle construction, emissions, visibility, and occupant protection.

• ADA

  Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance

  

  Guarantees equal access for all riders. The eJEST features a low-floor design, automatic ramp, wheelchair securement area, and visual + audible stop announcements — making every journey comfortable, independent, and inclusive.

  

• Altoona-Tested Reliability

  Federal durability and safety testing by the U.S. Department of Transportation (FTA)

  Completing Altoona testing means the Autonomous eJEST meets the same durability, performance, and safety standards as full-size city buses used in federally funded fleets.This certification removes a major barrier  — it's a proof that the bus is not a concept, but a ready-to-deploy transit solution.‍

  Verified for Real-World Transit Service
  The eJEST has successfully completed Altoona testing, a federally recognized evaluation by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
  ‍
  This process confirms the vehicle’s:‍

  • Structural integrity over a 12-year service life (frame, suspension, components under stress)
  • Energy efficiency and battery performance (battery range, energy use, charging behavior)
  • Safety performance (braking, handling, visibility)
  • Maintainability and serviceability (ease of repair and upkeep)
  • Noise and ride quality (comfort and cabin sound levels)
