Pilot projects are powerful tools for testing and validating the potential of electric transit. Smaller vehicles like the eJEST are particularly well-suited for such initiatives because they require less upfront investment while providing a tangible "taste" of what electrification can achieve.

To ensure optimal performance, eJEST is equipped with a thermal management system that keeps the batteries warm and functioning efficiently regardless of external temperatures.

Gamaliel A. highlighted the key benefits of expanding the city’s fleet with eJEST services. Traditional buses cost half a million dollars or more—twice as much as the eJEST—making it challenging to deploy enough vehicles to meet citywide transit needs.

Karsan eJEST, a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly vehicle designed to meet the unique needs of on-demand transit. However, to make these systems thrive, transit agencies must pair exceptional vehicles like the eJEST with flawless technology.

"Cutting service is a death knell because people will only use transit if it is reliable and affordable. If ridership drops, revenues drop, and then more cuts follow". The eJEST empowers transit agencies to implement on-demand ride systems and deliver a modern, reliable transit experience.

David Cooper

Principal at Leading Mobility

With its compact size, energy efficiency, and lower maintenance requirements, the eJEST minimizes operational costs while maintaining reliable service during low-demand hours.

"Our eJESTs are the backbone of this innovative transport service. Their compact size and advanced technology make them ideal for projects like Microtransit."

Okan Baş

Karsan's CEO

"The future of transit in Oakville is focused on service delivery that is modern, sustainable and innovative; continuing to meet the needs of our costumers today while supporting growth for the future."

Fully electric, 6-meter minibuses will efficiently navigate narrow streets and hard-to-reach areas, improving accessibility. Additionally, the service allows passengers to book rides through a smartphone app, making transportation more convenient and accessible to all.

When it comes to charging mini-buses like the Karsan eJEST, their smaller size offers several advantages over larger buses. At Damera, we offer tailored solutions that help transit agencies navigate this transition smoothly, maximizing efficiency and sustainability.

By investing in modern electric buses that are clean, quiet, and comfortable, cities can make transit feel like an upgrade rather than a compromise. Features like Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and climate control are essential for improving the passenger experience.
