Timeline: 2023 onwards
The Town of Oakville received its first 15 electric buses in 2023, which are currently in use for On-Demand Services (care-A-van and Ride On-Demand).
The 20-foot Karsan e-Jest electric buses are a European-style, battery-powered bus built by Karsan, a market-leading bus and coach manufacturing company. They are equipped with a BMW power train providing an emission-free range of 210 kilometres and feature a unique and innovative design with a low floor, key for accessibility.
These electric buses do not produce harmful exhaust emissions or other greenhouse gases (GHG), they are more energy-efficient, quieter, provide a smoother experience for passengers, and use fewer parts than standard diesel buses.
