The push toward decarbonization in urban transit systems is not just about reducing emissions; it’s about creating sustainable, efficient, and accessible mobility for everyone.
Compact electric vehicles like the Karsan eJEST are key to achieving this vision. With their zero-emission technology, flexible integration into current systems, and cost-effective operations, these mini-buses are leading the charge toward a cleaner future for urban transit.
Traditional large diesel buses, while effective in high-ridership areas, are often inefficient in routes with lower passenger volumes, especially in off-peak hours. Running oversized buses during these periods leads to wasted energy and higher carbon emissions. This is where compact electric shuttles, such as the Karsan eJEST, come into play.
At the Zero Emission Transit & Mobility Conference, leaders from the industry, including our COO Roger D’Hollander will delve into this critical topic.
Don’t miss your chance to gain insightful information that can help you optimize your transit operations with the right vehicle for low ridership areas.
This knowledge could be crucial in choosing the most efficient and sustainable solution for your transit agency.

The Karsan eJEST, a fully electric mini-bus, provides an efficient alternative for routes that don’t justify the use of full-size buses. It offers up to 8 hours of service on a single overnight charge while producing zero emissions, making it an ideal choice for cities looking to cut down on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reduce their carbon footprint.
One of the key advantages of electric mini-buses like the Karsan eJEST is their energy efficiency. With features such as regenerative braking, the eJEST can recover energy during deceleration, converting it back into electricity to extend the range of the bus. This kind of innovation not only reduces the vehicle’s energy consumption but also enhances operational efficiency, allowing transit agencies to save on costs while reducing environmental impact.
Smaller shuttles can also navigate narrow streets and areas where larger buses would struggle, making them highly suitable for dense urban areas or low-density suburban routes. By maximizing energy use through smart technology, these vehicles make electric mobility more accessible and practical for cities across North America.
The Karsan eJEST is the ideal bus, helping cities move towards full electrification without the upfront costs associated with larger electric buses.
