Otokar's electric buses can be seen at two separate fairs in Germany

Turkey's leading bus manufacturer Otokar continues to introduce its electric buses to its customers at the world's largest commercial vehicle events.

The 18.75-meter electric articulated bus e-KENT, developed by Turkish engineers, carries visitors at the IAA Transportation Fair held in Hannover, Germany. Otokar is also exhibiting its 12-meter electric bus e-KENT at the transportation fair InnoTrans, which opened its doors in Berlin between 20-23 September.

Otokar, a Koç Group company, continues to introduce its new generation electric buses, designed and developed for the cities of the future, at the world's largest commercial vehicle events. Otokar, which makes a difference in public transportation in more than 50 countries as well as in Turkey with the vehicles it designs and produces according to user expectations, took part in two separate fairs held in Germany with its new generation electric buses.

Electric Articulated City Carries IAA 2022 Visitors

Otokar's first stop in Europe, which has made many innovations in areas such as alternative fuel vehicles, smart cities and safe transportation systems and has the title of Turkey's first electric bus manufacturer, was IAA Transportation. At the organization held in Hannover, Germany, visitors have the opportunity to try Otokar's 18.75 meter electric articulated bus, e-KENT. Developed for metropolises with high passenger numbers, the articulated e-KENT will transport fair visitors between halls for 6 days at IAA, one of the most important commercial vehicle fairs in the world, in cooperation with Webasto.

Developed at Otokar R&D Center, the articulated e-KENT draws attention with its high maneuverability despite its length of 18.75 meters. e-KENT, which also won the BIG SEE award with its design line, is presented to the fair visitors with its technology and innovative solutions in the field of security.

While it offers high passenger capacity and large interior volume, the vehicle, which has four large, metro-type electric sliding doors that allow passengers to get in and out quickly, offers different battery capacity options such as 350, 490, 560 kWh. The bus's Li-ion NMC batteries add agility to transportation with fast and slow charging features. Thanks to its different charging options, the articulated e-KENT can be charged quickly either in the garage or on the road with its pantograph type charging feature.

Otokar Difference in INNOTRANS

The other stop of Otokar's electric buses in Germany was the 13th InnoTrans transportation technologies and mobility trade fair. Otokar is exhibiting its 12-meter electric bus e-KENT at InnoTrans, which attracted more than 2,770 participants from 56 countries this year. The environmentally friendly e-CITY, which has been tested by different bus companies and municipalities in many different European countries such as Italy, Spain and Romania and has won great acclaim, aims to contribute to the sustainable development of cities.

e-KENT, which stands out with its innovative, eye-catching design as well as its comfort, technologies and innovative solutions in the field of security, is among the most assertive vehicles in the sector. The vehicle, which can offer a range of over 300 kilometers depending on the topography and usage profile when fully charged, offers better visibility and comfort for passengers with its large interior volume.
