Karsan e ATA 10 The Electric Bus Dreaming of Trolleybus Glory in Modern Cities Turkey's Electric Bus

Discover the innovative world of urban mobility with this in-depth look at the Karsan e-ATA 10 – a cutting-edge electric bus from Turkish manufacturer Karsan that's often described as "the bus that dreams of being a trolleybus"! Launched in 2021 as part of Karsan's e-ATA series (including 6m, 10m, 12m, and 18m variants), the e-ATA 10 is a 10-meter midibus designed for efficient city routes, combining the flexibility of a battery-electric vehicle with the reliability of traditional trolleybus systems. What makes it "dream of being a trolleybus"? Its modular battery setup and potential for pantograph charging (in some configurations) allow it to operate like a trolleybus on wired sections while enjoying full autonomy on battery power – bridging the gap between fixed-route trolleys and free-roaming buses. This hybrid capability positions it as a forward-thinking solution for cities transitioning to zero-emission transport without massive infrastructure overhauls.Powered by LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries with capacities up to 300 kWh, the e-ATA 10 boasts an impressive range of 250–300 km on a single charge, depending on conditions, making it ideal for all-day urban operations. Its electric motors deliver 250 kW (335 hp) of power with instant torque for smooth acceleration, reaching speeds up to 70 km/h. The low-floor design ensures easy accessibility for passengers with disabilities, strollers, or bikes, while the spacious interior accommodates up to 70 people (26 seated). Advanced features include regenerative braking (recouping up to 30% energy), air conditioning, LED lighting, USB ports, and digital displays for real-time info – all contributing to a passenger-friendly experience that rivals modern trolleys.Karsan, founded in 1966 in Bursa, Turkey, has become a global player in electric vehicles, exporting to over 20 countries. The e-ATA series emerged from Karsan's push into sustainable mobility in the late 2010s, partnering with BMW for battery tech and drawing inspiration from European trolleybus systems. In Romania, models like the e-ATA 10 have been adopted by cities such as Constanta (CT Bus fleet in 2025–2026) for routes like 100M
