Karsan has won a tender to supply 42 of its e-ATA 18-metre articulated buses for operation in Bari, Italy.
Delivery of the vehicles, which is being carried out in collaboration with Italian dealer Kmobility, is scheduled for June 2026.
The new vehicles will enter service as part of Bari’s new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.
Karsan CEO Okan Baş said:Our vehicles continue to serve in more than 40 cities in Italy. The satisfaction with our vehicles, which have been serving the Municipality of Bari since 2023, paves the way for future projects for us.
With this new tender we have won, 42 18-meter Karsan e-ATA vehicles will be delivered to the Municipality of Bari next June. It is also important that these vehicles will be the first to be used in the municipality's new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in the summer of 2026.
Karsan’s 18-metre e-ATA vehicles offer more than 450-kilometres in range, and come equipped with two independent charging ports, each capable of utilising 300kw of power.
