Karsan – a pioneer in the field of electromobility
The success story of Karsan in the minibus segment – electric vehicles powered by LION Smart battery packs
Karsan is a leading Turkish manufacturer of commercial vehicles specializing in the development of innovative and sustainable transportation solutions. With a strong tradition in vehicle production and a clear focus on future technologies, Karsan has established itself as a pioneer in the field of electromobility, with a current production share of electric vehicles at 80%. The company offers a wide range of vehicles for various applications, from public transportation to urban delivery services. Particularly noteworthy are the electric buses e-JEST and e-ATAK, which stand out for their advanced technology and environmentally friendly design.
The collaboration between Karsan and LION Smart is a key success factor in the development of the e-JEST electric minibuses and e-ATAK electric midibuses. LION Smart supplies the advanced lithium-ion batteries that provide the vehicles with exceptional performance and efficiency. This partnership elevates the technological advantages of the vehicles to a new level and is crucial for positioning Karsan as a leading provider of sustainable urban mobility.
The advantages of the efficient LION Smart battery
The LION Smart batteries are characterized by exceptionally high energy density, meaning the vehicles can achieve significant range with a single charge. For the e-JEST, which is designed for shorter distances in city traffic, this means a range of up to 210 km – ideal for frequent starts and stops in urban environments. The larger e-ATAK also benefits from this powerful battery, enabling it to handle longer distances and higher passenger capacity without compromising energy efficiency.
Another important advantage of LION Smart batteries is their exceptional reliability and resilience to the specific challenges of urban operations. Frequent stops, shorter distances, and high stress in daily operations often pose a challenge for conventional batteries, but not for the LION Smart batteries. Their long lifespan and low maintenance needs lead to significant cost benefits and reduce the effort required for repairs and replacement..
The fast charging time of LION Smart batteries also contributes to the attractiveness of the Karsan models, as the vehicles are quickly ready for use again – an important aspect for urban public transport, where high availability and minimal downtime are crucial.
Conclusion
Overall, it can be said that the powerful battery packs from LION Smart not only give the Karsan e-JEST and e-ATAK high range and efficiency but also help reduce operating costs and extend the vehicles’ lifespan. Together, Karsan and LION Smart offer an innovative solution that convinces both technologically and ecologically, making an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and improving air quality in urban areas.
