Karsan has supplied its first e-ATAK electric buses in Italy, delivering 11 of the 18 vehicles ordered for Catania, Sicily.
The seven additional e-ATAK buses will be delivered by the middle of this year.
Karsan CEO Okan Baş said:Karsan strengthens its presence in Italy day by day. In 2023, Karsan electric buses will serve all over Italy from the southernmost part of the country to the northernmost one. As Karsan, we are one of the most important brands in the electric transformation of public transportation in Italy.
These 11 100% electric buses are the first of Karsan’s e-ATAK series to be delivered to Italy.
The order is within the scope of a framework agreement that Karsan signed with Italian public procurement company, Consip in 2021 for 80 e-ATAK buses.
Under this same agreement, Karsan was also recently contracted to supply 27 e-ATAK electric buses in Romagna.
