With its vision of being one step ahead in the future of mobility, Karsan, which offers advanced mobility solutions, has become the leading brand in the European electric minibus market for the second consecutive year.
2020 yılını yüzde 43 pazar payı ile elektrikli minibüs pazarında Avrupa’nın lideri olarak kapatan e-JEST, 2021’de bu payını %51,2’ye yükselterek bir kez daha zirvede yer aldı. Böylece 3,5-8 ton arası elektrikli minibüs sınıfında trafiğe kaydı yapılan her iki araçtan bir tanesi Karsan e-JEST oldu!
Karsan, which brings the technologies of the future to the present and leads the sector with its pioneering products, continues to dominate the electric minibus market in Europe. The e-JEST, the brand's first electric model launched in 2018 and introduced to the roads at the beginning of 2019, finished 2021 as the leader of the electric minibus market in Europe, following 2020.
It has multiplied its market share every year!
In its very first year on sale in 2019, the Karsan e-JEST managed to achieve a 24% market share in its class in Europe. A year later, it increased this share to 43%, becoming the best-selling model in its class in 2020. According to the 2021 European Minibus Market Report (3.5-8 tons) published by Wim Chatrou – CME Solutions, this environmentally friendly model further improved its performance last year, increasing its share of the European electric minibus market to 51.2% and becoming the champion of its class for the second consecutive year.
“"One out of every two electric minibuses became an e-JEST."”
Evaluating the growing success of the e-JEST, Karsan CEO Okan Baş said, “For over 50 years, we have been one of the most important players in the minibus market in Türkiye. Undoubtedly, Karsan's experience, distribution structure, and investments in after-sales services, as well as its unique dimensions, played a major role in the significant success achieved by the e-JEST in the small bus class. We have differentiated the e-JEST from our competitors with its proven BMW i technology electric motor and batteries, and we have launched it widely in many European countries such as France, Romania, Portugal, and Germany. Thanks to this expertise, we have managed to grow in the European market every year, building on the previous year's performance. In 2021, Karsan e-JEST, which became the leader of the electric minibus market in Europe for the second time, achieved a market share of 51.2%, making it one out of every two vehicles registered for traffic.’.

Offering a range of up to 210 km, the e-JEST demonstrates the best performance in the 6-meter small bus class, and thanks to its regenerative braking system that provides energy recovery, its batteries can self-charge by 25%.
