From April 1–3, 2025, Damera Corporation proudly participated in the Ontario Transportation Expo (OTE) — Canada’s largest gathering of transit and bus industry professionals — held at the Toronto Congress Centre.

📍 Booth B4/B5

This year’s expo gave us the opportunity to connect with transit leaders, agency directors, and technology innovators — all working toward a common goal: building more accessible, efficient, and sustainable transit systems.

We Make Transit Work

At Damera, when we say “We Make Transit Work,” we mean it. It’s more than a tagline — it reflects our daily commitment to delivering meaningful, scalable solutions for agencies across North America. Whether it’s supplying electric buses, deploying on-demand transit models, or supporting long-term vehicle health, we’re committed to delivering meaningful, scalable solutions for agencies across North America.

We help cities rethink what’s possible in public transportation — with vehicles, infrastructure, and ongoing service that genuinely make a difference.

At OTE, we proudly showcased two of our flagship brands:

  • The Karsan – a compact, fully electric, low-floor minibus Karsan eJEST is ideal for microtransit, shuttle, and paratransit services
    With its ADA-compliant design, smooth, quiet ride, and no CDL requirement, the eJEST continues to impress agencies looking for smart solutions in low-density and suburban settings.
  • TEMSA motorcoaches – Designed for intercity travel and high-capacity transport, backed by strong reliability and support
    Built for high-capacity and intercity service, TEMSA coaches combine performance, comfort, and durability — making them ideal for agencies seeking long-range efficiency with full fleet support.

Looking Ahead: Transit with Purpose

As public transit continues to evolve, one thing is clear: cities need scalable, efficient, rider-focused solutions. We provide a full-service model that supports your fleet at every stage:

✅ Smart charging infrastructure planning
✅ Operator and technician training
✅ Predictive maintenance and real-time support
✅ Telematics integration for data-driven decisions
✅ Dedicated after-sales service

Smarter Solutions Start With Experience

What truly sets Damera apart is our operational foundation. As a member of the Mississauga Bus Group of Companies (MBGC), we bring over 20 years of hands-on experience in transit vehicle maintenance, refurbishment, and service.

Because we service over 3000 of buses and heavy duty vehicles each year, we understand the daily challenges transit agencies face — and we design our solutions accordingly.

Our state-of-the-art full-service facility and in-house body shop are equipped to handle everything from routine maintenance to major structural repairs and complete refurbishments. This includes mechanical work, electrical systems, body paneling, custom interiors, and refinishing.

We understand that downtime is costly, and every minute a vehicle is out of service affects riders, schedules, and budgets. That’s why our Parts Department is built to respond quickly, accurately, and efficiently — supporting transit agencies and fleet operators across North America.

Why Agencies Choose MBGC:

  • In-house expertise for both mechanical and body work
  • OEM-level standards and certified technicians
  • Fast turnaround, honest timelines, and fleet-level capacity
  • Trusted across North America

Parts Support That Keeps You Moving

Behind every reliable fleet is a parts department that delivers. At Damera, our Parts Department is built to keep your vehicles on the road — with speed, accuracy, and trusted technical knowledge.

What You Can Expect:

✅ Extensive Inventory
We maintain a comprehensive stock of parts for Karsan, TEMSA, and other supported vehicles — including high-turnover and mission-critical components.

✅ Fast Order Fulfillment
Our team works closely with your service managers and technicians to ensure that the right parts are shipped quickly and reliably, minimizing vehicle downtime.

✅ Expert Support
Need help identifying a part or planning for preventive maintenance? Our parts team is ready to assist with technical insights and tailored recommendations.

✅ Fleet-Ready Planning
We help agencies prepare parts programs for upcoming deployments, seasonal needs, or high-mileage operations — so you're never caught off guard.

✅ Warranty Coordination
We assist with warranty claims and manufacturer support to make the process seamless and stress-free.

Why Events Like OTE Matter

Industry events like the Ontario Transportation Expo bring together the people who shape transit every day — from manufacturers and maintenance providers to city planners and fleet managers.

They provide a space to:

  • Exchange ideas
  • Explore new technologies
  • Share operational challenges and solutions
  • Strengthen partnerships that move transit forward

We’re truly grateful to all the attendees who visited our booth, asked thoughtful questions, and engaged with our team. And a special thank-you to our long-standing partners Karsan Automotive and Temsa for their continued collaboration and innovation.
