Karsan Will Electrify Public Transportation

in Italy’s Campania Region

Playing a leading role in the transformation of the world’s transportation infrastructure, especially in Europe,
with its electric and autonomous vehicles, Karsan made a rapid start to the new year. The company’s model
e-ATAK, which has closed the last 4 years in a row as the sales leader in Europe, continues to rapidly expand its
worldwide usage area and vehicle park. In this context, Karsan managed to stand out in a new tender in Italy, one
of its main target markets. Marking another major milestone by delivering its 250th electric vehicle in Italy on January 8,
Karsan won a new tender in the Campania region of the country, which includes the city of Naples, and signed the relevant agreement.

Karsan vehicle park in Italy will reach 300 vehicles
Stating that Italy is a market they attach great importance to, Karsan CEO Okan Baş said, “We are happy to win another tender as a
100% Turkish brand. With the delivery we plan to complete by the end of 2025, Karsan’s electric vehicle park in Italy will reach 300
units. With the deliveries we will make in two batches, we will significantly increase our influence in the Campania region. In this region,
which includes a big city like Naples, we have previously delivered 8 units of e-ATAK. With the new deliveries, our vehicle park in the
Campania Region will reach 50 vehicles.”

The ability to fast charge makes multiple trips possible
Designed with passenger comfort in mind, Karsan e-ATAK makes it easier for the elderly and families with children to get on and off
the vehicle with its low floor, while offering a high level of comfort to its passengers with its comfortable seats and wide seat spacing.
Providing an advantage in urban use with its 8 meters in length, Karsan e-ATAK stands out with its passenger capacity of 52 people.
Its 230 kW electric motor, with its maximum torque of 2500 nm, allows the vehicle to move forward without difficulty even with steep
slopes under full load, while offering a range of up to 300 kilometers.
