Atak makes a difference with its size, comfort and performance

Focusing on maximum efficiency in urban public transportation, Karsan Atak introduces a modern appearance with its brand-new exterior design and LED daytime running lamps while raising the bar further in passenger comfort with its new driver's cab equipped with cutting-edge technology. Atak reduces maintenance costs with its three-piece front bumper; its tilting chassis, disabled ramp and USB ports and Wi-Fi access also make life easier for passengers. Generating 186 HP power and 680 Nm torque, the 4.5-liter FPT NEF4 turbo diesel engine of the new Atak continues to deliver excellent performance. Featuring the Euro VI emission level, the engine was designed with cutting-edge technology in keeping with the company's commitment to eco-friendly policies.

Jest+ offers the perfect urban travel experience!

Offering significant advantages in accident prevention with its hill-start assist and lane keeping support system, Jest+ also stands out with its low-floor design, which is convenient for people with disabilities. Not only does Jest+ bring about a competitive advantage on account of its low maintenance costs; it also copes with the toughest maneuvers even in a congested traffic in the heart of the city thanks to its low turning radius. Generating 170 HP power and maximum 400 Nm torque, Jest+ continues to deliver excellent performance in all road conditions.
