SWITZERLAND
Karsan’s autonomous e-Atak is being trialled on a 2.2km route on with 8 stops between the historic city centre of Arbon and a new residential area, travelling at speeds of up to 30 kilometres per hour. The trial will be Switzerland’s first automated bus.
Karsan CEO Okan Baş said: “Our vehicle offers a comfortable and eco-friendly autonomous travel experience without disrupting the historic texture of Arbon’s narrow streets, thanks to its compact structure. We are proud to take on a pioneering role in Switzerland’s transition to driverless public transport with our Autonomous e-Atak. In the Swiss market, where we initially entered with our Jest vehicle, we aim to further solidify our presence with the delivery of 23 electric vehicles to one of the country’s largest operators in August and September.”
