As one of the world’s leading automotive countries, Türkiye is shaping a new roadmap in the field of transportation. Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced the launch of the “Net Zero Emission Roadmap in Transportation” Project, implemented in cooperation with the European Union (EU). Aiming to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector, the project will help establish a green, digital, and sustainable infrastructure in Türkiye. In this context, Karsan, which plays a pioneering role in transforming global public transportation infrastructure with its electric and autonomous vehicles, participated in the launch event, demonstrating its support for the initiative. Represented by Muzaffer Arpacıoğlu, Deputy General Manager of Domestic Sales and Foreign Affairs, and Adem Metin, Domestic Sales Manager, Karsan’s presence at the event underscored its strong commitment to the net zero emissions journey.

Following the launch event, Muzaffer Arpacıoğlu, Deputy General Manager of Domestic Sales and Foreign Affairs at Karsan, shared the following remarks: “As Karsan, we are proud to be leading the transition to zero emissions in public transportation by deploying thousands of electric vehicles across the globe — from Europe and North America to Japan. In Türkiye, we are shaping the transformation of cities such as Antalya, Bursa, Istanbul, Gaziantep, Mersin, and Kahramanmaraş with our e-ATA, e-ATAK, and e-JEST models, setting new standards for green mobility. Today, we reiterate our commitment: with our electric, hydrogen-powered, and autonomous solutions, we are not only leading the transformation of sustainable transportation in Türkiye but also pioneering this change worldwide. We take great pride in being the driving force of sustainable mobility on Türkiye’s path to net zero and in building the future starting today.”
