🚍 Discover the Potential Impact of the New Minibus on North America's Small Bus Market! 🌎🚌📑
Read a great article here by Mass Transit. Find out how the introduction of a new minibus style can provide transit agencies with the flexibility they need to operate various services and support lower emission goals.
We extend our gratitude to Mischa Wanek-Libman and our Chief Operating Officer, Roger D'Hollander, for engaging in a thought-provoking discussion. A special appreciation goes to Ian MacKinnon, Director of Saint John Transit, and Adrian Kawun, Director of Oakville Transit, for their invaluable feedback.
Roger D'Hollander, Chief Operating Officer of Damera Corporation, highlights that the eJEST stands out as purpose-built for transit, unlike other minibuses which often retrofit a standard chassis. Remarkably, the diesel version of eJEST has been a global market fixture for over a decade, with its electric counterpart introduced about four years ago.
“I describe it as a 40-foot bus in a 20-foot footprint,” said D’Hollander.
“In North America, customers have interest in using it for on demand or microtransit and, obviously, it's not going to replace mainline fixed routes, but it will be a great feeder for those fixed routes.”
As the demand for micro transit and on-demand services continues to rise, the introduction of a new vehicle type to North America coincides with a period where supply chain disruptions, particularly in the small bus market, have intensified the recovery challenges faced by transit agencies amidst the pandemic.
This electric minibus emerges as a beacon for a greener future in the industry, offering a solution to the pressing environmental concerns.
