Autonomous Atak Electric for BSCI

Karsan CEO Okan Baş said: “We quickly attracted attention in Europe with our Autonomous Atak Electric to which we aim to bring Level-4 autonomous driving skills, and received an order from BSCI, one of Romania’s important technology companies. This order further reinforces our faith in the project. The prototype of Autonomous Atak Electric will be concluded in August and this will be the first electric bus featuring autonomous driving skills adapted to real road conditions. Moreover, this order which we expect to deliver by the end of the year will mark Karsan’s first European autonomous project sales for the 8-meter bus class».
