As part of the project, ADASTEC’s flowride.ai platform seamlessly integrates with Gothenburg’s transit infrastructure, creating an operationally efficient and accessible route that increases the city’s connectivity. The bus will initially operate as part of Västtrafik’s public transport network.
Karsan CEO Okan Baş said, “Since the launch of Karsan Otonom e-ATAK in 2021, we have proven our reliability with the experience of 35 thousand passengers. Our vehicle, which performed smoothly in difficult weather conditions of up to minus 25 degrees, also had the title of being the first autonomous vehicle that can pass through a tunnel in Europe. “The firsts and successful works we have achieved further encourage us to achieve much better,” he said.
Karsan Otonom e-ATAK broke new ground in the world by carrying passengers on a 5-kilometer route for 1.5 years on the campus of Michigan State University in the USA. Autonomous e-ATAK, which has been carrying ticketed passengers in open traffic in Stavanger, Norway, since 2022, has recently expanded its existing route with a route that includes a tunnel, and has successfully passed another difficult test as the first autonomous vehicle to pass through the tunnel.
After the USA, Norway, France, Romania, Finland, Netherlands, Switzerland and Turkey, Karsan will now be present in Sweden with its autonomous projects at 9 different points with Autonomous e-ATAK. Karsan is the first and only level-4 autonomous vehicle carrying passengers in open traffic in the world. It continues to maintain its status as a bus.
Autonomous e-ATAK features
The vehicle, which can accelerate to 40 km/h in autonomous driving in all weather conditions, day or night, is what a bus driver does; It carries out all operations such as approaching the stops on the route, managing the alighting and boarding processes, providing dispatch and management at intersections, crossings and traffic lights, etc., without a driver.
The 8.3-meter-long Karsan Autonomous e-ATAK stands out as a sustainable, high-capacity transit solution that can efficiently meet Gothenburg’s urban transportation demands. The ability of the bus to be fully charged in 5 hours with AC units and in 3 hours with DC units ensures that the vehicle is always ready for service.
