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.
The Clean Buses – US Conference, hosted annually by Global Mass Transit, is one of the most respected events in North America focused specifically on the transition to zero- and near-zero-emission bus fleets. Held this year in San Francisco, the conference brought together the full ecosystem shaping the future of clean transit — from policymakers and transit agencies to OEMs, utilities, financiers, and technology innovators.
What makes Clean Buses – US unique is its focus on real operational challenges and practical solutions, not just high-level policy or long-term vision.
Events like Clean Buses US are critical for transit evolution because they create a space where:
Agencies share what actually happens on the road
OEMs and suppliers learn what fleets truly need
Funding and regulatory experts clarify new requirements
Utilities align timelines and infrastructure plans
For Damera, the conference was an opportunity to:
Present the Karsan eJEST, our flagship right-sized electric minibus
Engage directly with leaders facing suburban, rural, and on-demand mobility challenges
Learn from agencies deploying early electric and autonomous systems
Strengthen partnerships that support long-term fleet reliability and electrification planning
We attend not only as exhibitors, but as partners committed to bringing practical, scalable, cost-effective solutions to North American transit systems.
Connecting With Transit Leaders
At the Clean Buses US Conference, we had an opportunity to meet industry leaders and explore the technologies and platforms shaping the next era of public transit. The conversations were energizing, insightful, and deeply relevant to the challenges agencies are facing today.
One of the highlights was our discussion with Richard Cowart (in the picture from the right), Senior Director of Transportation & Mobility Services at KCATA (Kansas City Area Transportation Authority). Richard met with Roman Duplak (from the left), VP of American Sales at Damera Corporation, to exchange perspectives on:
the growing importance of right-sized electric vehicles,
the evolving roadmaps for zero-emission adoption,
the operational and financial realities of fleet transition, and
how agencies can successfully shift from pilot programs to reliable, scalable electric service.
Conversations like these are invaluable. They provide real-world feedback that helps us refine our approach, strengthen our solutions, and remain aligned with what transit agencies truly need on the ground.
At Damera, this insight is at the core of our work. It guides how we support agencies with right-sized mobility, electrification planning, and dependable long-term operations — always with the goal of making transit more accessible, efficient, and rider-focused.
Why Right-Sized Mobility Stands Out
The industry’s movement toward cleaner fleets is clear — but so is a new realization:
“One size fits all” transit is no longer sustainable.
Right-sized electric minibuses like the Karsan eJEST are emerging as a practical, financially responsible way to:
✔ Increase service frequency
Smaller vehicles cost less to purchase and operate, allowing agencies to run more buses without increasing budgets.
✔ Serve areas large buses cannot reach
Suburban streets, university campuses, airport loops, and winding neighbourhoods benefit from compact, highly maneuverable vehicles.
✔ Improve accessibility and rider comfort
Low floors, quick-deploy ramps, comfortable interiors, and bicycle racks create an experience that feels modern and welcoming.
✔ Reduce operating costs
Lower energy consumption, simpler maintenance, and the ability to use lower-cost chargers make the eJEST far more economical than full-size electric buses.
✔ Build pathways toward future automation
Right-sized, predictable routes are ideal for the next generation of connected and automated mobility.
This is why the eJEST is already reshaping how agencies think about service — and why interest continues to grow across North America.
Our Commitment
As a distributor of right-sized electric minibuses, Damera uses insights from events like Clean Buses US to refine solutions that work on real streets, with real riders, under real operational pressures.
We support agencies through:
fleet planning,
route and service design,
charging strategy and infrastructure coordination,
operator and technician training,
parts and service support,
and long-term operational readiness.
Our mission is to help agencies electrify faster, operate more efficiently, and build systems that communities feel good using.
Looking Ahead
Thank you to everyone we met at Clean Buses US 2025. Your expertise, honesty, and leadership help guide the future of public transit in North America.
If your agency is exploring ways to improve reliability, expand coverage, lower operating costs, or introduce right-sized electric mobility, our team is always ready to help.
