Karsan gets two global awards

Karsan has won two Global Business Excellence awards for its electrification.

Its Karsan Electric Evolution strategy topped the awards’ Outstanding Business Transformation category while the Karsan autonomous e-ATAK electric bus earned the brand another award in the Outstanding Innovation category.

“We are proud to win another prestigious award after the Sustainable Bus of The Year 2023, which we won with our 12-metre electric e-ATA model,” says Karsan chief executive Okan Baş.

“In this competition, we achieved many firsts in Europe and America in the category of Outstanding Innovation and received an award with our autonomous e-ATAK project, which currently carries passengers on a real route.

“In the Outstanding Business Transformation category, we have won an award with our Karsan Electric Evolution strategy, which started in the last five years with e-JEST, and followed by e-ATAK, Autonomous e-ATAK, and then with our 10-12-18 metre e-ATA models that we led the electric mobility transformation.

“These awards are of particular importance to us as they are one of the world’s highest-profile awards.”

The awards’ jury president says: “Turkey’s commercial vehicle manufacturer Karsan has made significant progress with its innovative technologies in the last five years and has become the pioneer of electric evolution in public transportation.
