To the west of Bursa, in a village called Hasanağa lies the headquarters of Karsan. Though the company’s history extends back to 1966, it is only in the past decade that it has emerged as an original equipment manufacturer of note in the commercial vehicle industry. Today, it has earned a reputation as a “dark horse” among the Turkish manufacturers, a previously unknown company which has very quickly surged to prominence in the domestic and European markets.

In a market like Turkey, it is crucial that domestic and international attendees are able to communicate with one another. One the one hand, Turkey is a giant market with growing infrastructure and, therefore, growing demand for goods and passenger transportation. On the other hand, it has long been a prime location for offshore manufacturing, especially for the European automotive industry. At a show like Busworld Turkey, then, companies who are interested in growing their share of the domestic market and companies who are interested in exporting products from Turkey are represented in equal proportions.

After the 2022 edition of ‘Busworld Southeast Asia’, I argued that the divergent priorities of the Indonesian government and the country’s longstanding bus and coach manufacturers were on full display at the show. At this year’s show, held between 15-17 May at the Jakarta International Expo, the domestic manufacturers doubled the number of electric models on show – that is to say, they displayed a total of two electric buses instead of one. The impression I got two years ago of divergent, even opposing, ideas about the future of the market in Indonesia was confirmed by the latest show, which was much larger in scale and well attended following the final removal of all pandemic-era restrictions.

The low-floor hydrogen-powered 12-metre fuel cell bus debuted at the show. Equipped with ZF front steer and AxTrax drive axles and 15 – 45 kWh traction batteries from Impact Clean Power, the bus is currently being tested in Germany.
