With this awareness, we have taken a significant step towards our goal of becoming a carbon-neutral factory by 2030. By sourcing all the electricity used in production from renewable energy sources, we are eliminating the carbon emissions from electricity consumption during production."As of today, Karsan provides transportation services with more than 1,100 electric vehicles in 23 countries worldwide. With the transition to renewable energy, the company has also made a significant step towards its goal of a sustainable future in its production facilities.

Reducing the Carbon Footprint!

Through its collaboration with Enerjisa within the scope of "Energy for My Business," Karsan has taken a significant step by obtaining a Renewable Energy Certificate Procurement Document. With this collaboration, Karsan will source 100% of the electricity used in production from renewable energy sources, thereby eliminating carbon emissions from electricity consumption during production. Karsan, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint with its electric vehicles, provides transportation services with more than 1,100 electric vehicles in 23 countries as of today. The 100% electric Karsan e-JEST and e-ATAK have been the most preferred models in their segments in Europe for the last four consecutive years. With its high-tech and environmentally friendly models contributing to sustainability, Karsan has taken another step towards the sustainable future it aims for in its production facilities with the transition to renewable energy. Moving forward with the vision of "One Step Ahead in the Future of Mobility," the company not only fulfills its environmental responsibilities but also takes on important missions such as increasing consumer awareness, investing in renewable energy projects in the market, and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
