Otokar will join FIAA in Madrid with 5 vehicles (e-Territo and Autonomous e-Centro stand out)

Otokar will be present at FIAA (where the Sustainable Bus Awards 2025 will be awarded) through its official distributor for Spain, Somauto, exhibiting as many as five units.

What is particularly worth noting, the Turkish brand will display from 22 to 25th October its electric intercity bus E-Territo in 13 metres length. It will also present the electric 12-meter e-Kent and its autonomous bus development, the e-Centro Autonomous.

In addition, it will present the Navigo Mega Facelift and the Ulyso T Facelift.

Otokar e-Territo and Autonomous e-Centro in Madrid

Intercity electric buses represent a growing segment in the passenger transportation market. As of 2023, only 200 intercity electric buses were registered in Europe, a stark contrast to the over 6,000 municipal battery electric bus registrations. Despite this nascent stage, advancements in technology and regulatory changes are paving the way for broader adoption.

The Turkish group showcased the e-Territo for the first time at Busworld 2023 in Brussels. The model is available in two different battery capacity options, resulting in two different ranges and two different luggage capacity. The maximum output is 410 kilowatts with a maximum torque of 3,100 newton meters.

The bus is powered by lithium-iron-phosphate batteries. The battery modules are installed on the bottom of the bus to achieve superior center of gravity enabling improved handling.

A double central door, an area reserved for wheelchair users, and an optional platform lift facilitate access for all passengers.

e-Centro is also autonomous!

Also the autonomous e-Centro was on show in Brussels last year. The 6-meter e-bus features has Level 4 autonomous driving technology.

The vehicle can also manage stopping and moving times by itself and can also navigate smoothly at intersections and roundabouts. It slows down at speed bumps and pedestrian crossings and gives priority to pedestrians. It has an advanced hill performance. Autonomous e-Centro, which can follow the vehicle in front of it in accordance with the safe following distance, can detect possible dangers while driving and make emergency braking or evasive actions quickly. While doing all this, it does not disturb its passengers and the environment.
