Continuing to take great steps towards becoming a global brand, Karsan continues its efforts to spread its success in Europe to its main markets.
Saying that Romania is a very valuable market for Karsan, Karsan CEO Okan Baş said, “Romania is a country that adapts very quickly to the electric transformation in public transportation. We respond to this speed with our high-tech electrical products in all sizes from 6 meters to 18 meters. The dynamism of the Karsan brand and the dynamics of Romania are quite overlapping in terms of keeping pace with the technological transformation.” Emphasizing that the number of electric vehicles in the country will reach 23 with the tender, which covers 240 electric city buses, signed with the city of Chitila, Okan Baş said, “We continue our efforts to bring even more Karsan electric vehicles to the roads here with our dealer AAR in Romania.”
