Otokar awarded 100-bus contract by Greater Amman Municipality for the city’s ongoing public transport transformation

Otokar, a Koç Group company, continues to support public transportation in 50 countries with its buses. Otokar won the public transportation tender that Greater Amman Municipality opened for 100 buses. Shortly after winning a contract by Bucharest Municipality for 400 buses, Otokar will deliver 100 vehicles including 40 KENT and 60 VECTIO buses to Amman, the capital of Jordan, this year. Serdar Görgüç, General Manager, Otokar, said that the contract was won through Al-Adyat Al-Sareeah Latejaret Al Aleyat Co., a subsidiary of Jordanian Manaseer Group and Otokar distributor in Jordan, following the transformation activities that Amman started to meet the increasing public transportation needs, “The buses we produce by focusing on our users’ expectations and considering their needs, continue to be admired in foreign markets. We are honored and delighted that after Bucharest Municipality, Greater Amman Municipality has also preferred Otokar. As Turkey’s leading bus manufacturer, we will provide relief for public transport in Amman, which
has a population of four million, and deliver our modern, environmentally friendly vehicles this year. I hope the agreement will be beneficial for both parties and the people of Amman.” Yousef Shawarbeh, Mayor of Amman, stated that young people, the elderly and people with disabilities will travel by more comfortable, safe, secure and environmentally friendly vehicles within the scope of the major transformation the city is undergoing in energy, environment, infrastructure and public transportation, “We have ordered 100 buses in different sizes to provide better service for our citizens to help relieve the heavy traffic, which is an issue for Amman just like all big cities. With the 100 new buses we will offer to our people this year, we will have the best fleet in the region. As part of the transformation
work, the buses will feature high standards including an electronic payment system. In addition to our environmentally friendly transportation system, we will also accelerate infrastructure works and pavement improvement projects.”
