Traveling by coach offers passengers the opportunity to relish panoramic views while enjoying a relaxing anddependable travel experience. It is crucial for transit operators to ensure that every journey is smooth and that they are well-prepared for any contingencies. At Damera Corporation, we are dedicated to providing sturdy vehicles and immediate support to our clients. Through our partnership with Mississauga Bus Group of Companies, we extend beyond just vehicle sales to offer all-encompassing maintenance and repair services, ensuring that commercial vehicles remain operational.

Our TEMSA diesel coaches are designed for long-distance travel, delivering both comfort and reliability to accommodate various group sizes. Additionally, we provide an all-electric coach model, which offers reduced maintenance costs due to fewer mechanical components. Temsa coaches, including the new Temsa TS45e, have a solid track record of reliability and responsiveness, performing well in various weather conditions. The electric coaches are equipped with coolers to ensure battery performance in hot weather. However, the challenge is that EVs are primarily used for local transit or as shuttles for large companies.

For transit agencies, the full advantages of EV fleets hinge on substantial investment in the right infrastructure. Despite the higher initial costs, this investment pays off with significantly lower charging and maintenance expenses compared to diesel. However, challenges remain for cross-country EV travel due to the sparse electric infrastructure and the higher costs at public charging stations, which are not always equipped for large vehicles leading to difficulties in parking, blocking other users, and unpredictable charging times.

In Canada, the operating expense for an electric bus averages about CAD 26.00 per 100 miles using a private charging hub, based on an electricity rate of CAD 0.13 per kWh. Using public stations, which charge CAD 0.30 per kWh, the cost would rise to CAD 60.00 for the same mileage. In comparison, operating a diesel coach costs approximately CAD 107.29 per 100 miles, given a fuel price of CAD 1.70 per liter and efficiency of 6 miles per gallon.

Placing strategic charging hubs can address these challenges by providing affordable and efficient charging solutions.

At Damera Corporation, backed by our parent company's expertise in bus maintenance, we understand the unique needs of fleet owners. We proudly supply TEMSA buses, renowned for their reliability and comfort.
