Transit agencies across North America are rethinking mobility—moving beyond fixed routes toward flexible, on-demand microtransit services. Damera Corporation provides purpose-built electric vehicles like the Karsan e-JEST, specifically engineered to meet the demands of today’s diverse communities.
Microtransit is a public transportation model using smaller vehicles to serve flexible routes—especially in areas not well-served by traditional buses.
On-demand transit is a subset or feature of microtransit, where riders can request rides in real-time, much like a public version of Uber or Lyft. We collaborate with Argo Corporation. Click the button to learn more.
At Damera Corporation, we offer zero-emission vehicles specifically designed to meet the demands of modern transit agencies. Our lineup prioritizes accessibility, maneuverability, and efficiency—ideal for microtransit, as well as for paratransit and community shuttle applications.
Our flagship model, the Karsan e-JEST, exemplifies this approach with best-in-class accessibility and an operational footprint tailored for on-demand and fixed-route services alike.
The Karsan e-JEST outperforms traditional cutaway vans and other electric shuttles by combining true accessibility, right-sized engineering, and next-generation EV technology. Here's why transit professionals across North America are choosing it:
Unlike retrofitted vans or lifted minibuses, the e-JEST is designed from the ground up as a low-floor vehicle, delivering:
• Seamless, step-free boarding
• Faster ramp deployment
• Dignified access for wheelchair users, seniors, and parents with strollers
🟢 Eliminates the mechanical complexity and downtime of aftermarket lifts.
The e-JEST runs on a proven electric motor and battery system, providing:
• Zero tailpipe emissions
• Low noise and vibration
• Regenerative braking and up to 210 km of real-world range
🟢 Meets growing municipal sustainability targets while reducing fuel and maintenance costs.
Unlike retrofitted vans or lifted minibuses, the e-JEST is designed from the ground up as a low-floor vehicle, delivering:
• Tight turning radius for urban, suburban, and narrow-road navigation
• Ideal for microtransit, paratransit, and community shuttle applications
• Operates where larger buses can’t—without sacrificing capacity (up to 22 passengers with standing)
🟢 A single vehicle that can serve multiple zones and service models.
• ADA- and ATPDR-compliant features
• Integrated ramp, kneeling function, and two wheelchair securement areas
• High-contrast signage, AV announcements, and tactile elements for visually impaired riders
🟢High rider satisfaction in accessibility.
Electrification and accessibility are no longer separate goals—they’re aligned. Microtransit buses like the e-JEST are transforming public mobility across North America.
