A quiet, efficient, fully accessible electric minibus. The eJEST delivers exceptional maneuverability, low operating costs, and smooth passenger experience.
Built on the proven eJEST platform and automated by ADASTEC, this Level-4 autonomous minibus brings reliable, safe, and fully accessible automated transit to real-world routes.
On May 19, 2026, transit professionals from across the country will gather in Toronto for the fourth annual Clean Buses in Canada Conference, organized by Global Mass Transit.
Hosted at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Downtown, this one-day event comes at a pivotal time for Canadian transit agencies. Across the country, organizations are moving beyond pilot projects and into broader deployment of zero-emission buses, charging infrastructure, and long-term fleet electrification strategies.
The conference is designed as a practical forum where agencies, manufacturers, policymakers, utilities, consultants, and technology providers can exchange real-world experience and discuss the operational, technical, and financial factors that shape successful implementation.
Key topics include:
▪️ total cost of ownership and procurement strategies ▪️ charging infrastructure and grid integration ▪️ battery performance and lifecycle management ▪️ cold-weather reliability ▪️ operations and maintenance ▪️ workforce training and technical readiness ▪️ route optimization and scheduling ▪️ autonomous and on-demand electric transit models
These discussions are especially relevant as agencies evaluate how to electrify transit in a way that is financially sustainable, operationally practical, and aligned with service needs.
Why This Conference Matters
Electrification is not simply a matter of replacing diesel buses with electric ones.
It requires careful planning around vehicle selection, charging strategy, maintenance, infrastructure, staff training, and long-term operational performance.
Events like Clean Buses in Canada provide an opportunity to learn from agencies that are already implementing zero-emission fleets and to explore technologies that are helping reduce risk and improve outcomes.
Damera Corporation at the Conference
Chris Pulford, Manager EV Initiatives at Damera Corporation will be attending the conference and welcomes the opportunity to connect with transit professionals interested in practical approaches to electrification.
Our work is closely aligned with the conference themes.
We provide:
▪️ right-sized electric minibuses for microtransit, paratransit, and community routes ▪️ charging infrastructure solutions ▪️ high-voltage training and technical support ▪️ engineering expertise and lifecycle insight ▪️ scalable electrification strategies
Our flagship vehicle, theKarsan eJEST, is a fully accessible low-floor electric minibus designed for routes where large buses are often underutilized.
With a smaller battery, lower infrastructure requirements, and a highly accessible design, the eJEST offers a practical and cost-effective way to expand zero-emission transit.
Chris Pulford will be pleased to discuss how the eJEST and other emerging vehicle platforms can help agencies improve accessibility, reduce infrastructure costs, and deploy electric transit more effectively.
