Driving the Future of Public Transit

Damera Corporation is an Ontario-based company headquartered in Mississauga, ON. We bring world-class transit innovation to North America, and our team’s deep technical expertise, built over decades, allows us to understand the unique needs of each region and design solutions that actually work in the real world.

‍

In public transit, responsibility runs deep — from the dealer to the service teams, and ultimately to the passenger experience. Genuine expertise in this field isn’t built overnight; it takes years of knowledge, hands-on work, and a thorough understanding of community needs. That’s why Damera has invested over two decades in building the technical skill, industry relationships, and real-world experience needed to deliver transit solutions that truly work for the communities we serve.

The Cornerstone of Reliable Transit

Transit safety goes beyond preventing accidents — it means maintaining vehicles to the highest standards, training drivers thoroughly, implementing accessible boarding for all riders, and ensuring operations run smoothly and predictably. A safe transit system builds trust in the community, encourages ridership, and strengthens the reliability and reputation of the service. When safety is prioritized, public transit becomes not just a way to get from point A to point B, but a dependable part of daily life.

With over 20 years in public transit service, Damera has built that foundation. Today, we use this expertise to deliver dependable support and lead transit electrification projects across North America.

Smart, Sustainable Microtransit Solutions

Our Focus:

1. Electric Microtransit

We specialize in right-sized, fully accessible electric vehicles designed for microtransit — flexible, on-demand, and first/last mile services that connect people to where they need to go efficiently. Purpose-built to navigate urban cores, suburban neighborhoods, campuses, and other areas where larger buses are not practical, these vehicles combine comfort, accessibility, and competitive range.

‍

‍

Pairing Vehicles with Smart Technology

‍Modern microtransit thrives when sustainable transportation is paired with smart technology. By integrating intelligent mobility platforms with Damera’s expertise in electric transit, we help cities enhance connectivity, increase ridership, and set a new standard for modern public transportation. This pairing enables agencies to manage routes dynamically, monitor fleet health in real time, and provide passengers with accurate arrival times — all while delivering a zero-emission ride.

Seamless End-to-End Support

From initial planning to daily operation, Damera provides complete support to ensure a smooth rollout and long-term success:

• Charging station installation
• Driver and technician training
• Ongoing vehicle service and parts supply

Our vehicles are equipped for real-time tracking, telematics communication, and destination signage integration, giving agencies the tools to manage fleets efficiently and keep riders informed. With Damera, agencies receive not just vehicles, but a fully connected, reliable, and accessible microtransit system built for today and ready for tomorrow.

2. Diesel and Electric Motorcoaches for Long-Distance Travel

‍

‍

While our focus on electric microtransit supports cities and communities with clean, right-sized transportation, Damera also meets the needs of Canada’s long-distance travel operators with both diesel and electric Temsa motorcoaches. These vehicles are built for comfort, safety, and reliability over extended routes — essential for intercity travel, tourism, and charter services in Canada’s diverse climates and terrains. By offering a full spectrum of options, we help operators transition toward electrification at a pace that matches their operational requirements, while still delivering fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and an exceptional passenger experience.

Why Transit Electrification Matters for Canada

For Canada, transit electrification is more than a technology shift — it’s a step toward meeting climate commitments, improving air quality, and reducing dependency on imported fuels. With one of the cleanest electricity grids in the world, Canada is uniquely positioned to power buses using homegrown, low-emission energy.

Electrifying fleets lowers operating costs over time, creates skilled jobs in manufacturing and maintenance, and delivers quieter, more comfortable rides. It also strengthens public transit as a sustainable, reliable backbone for communities — from dense urban cores to rural and remote areas.

Building the Foundations for Sustainable, Inclusive, and Economically Vibrant Transit Systems

Our high-quality, fully accessible buses with competitive range, paired with complete charging infrastructure and service support, enable communities to shift from diesel dependency to clean, locally powered mobility. This transition keeps transportation spending within the region, creates skilled jobs in assembly, maintenance, and infrastructure installation, and ensures more residents — including seniors and people with disabilities — can actively participate in the local economy. Reliable, green transit also makes regions more attractive to new businesses, events, and residents who value accessibility and environmental leadership.

Strengthening Regional Economies

By supplying buses, charging infrastructure, and service support directly within the regions we serve — across Canada, the USA, and select international markets — Damera ensures that more of the investment in transit stays in the local economy. From parts supply and maintenance to training and infrastructure deployment, we create and sustain skilled jobs where our vehicles operate, helping communities capture the economic benefits of their transit investments.

‍

Building Tomorrow’s Workforce

We recognize that sustainable transit growth depends on developing the skilled workforce to support it. That’s why we collaborate with municipalities, transit agencies, and universities to create training opportunities that prepare the next generation of technicians, engineers, and fleet managers.

Our TUVLevel 3 High Voltage Training equips workers with the advanced skills to safely service and maintain electric buses, while hands-on programs in bus assembly, refurbishment, and charging infrastructure give them practical experience. These partnerships not only help cities operate cleaner fleets — they also strengthen employment pipelines and sustain long-term economic growth.

‍

Boosting Economic Participation & Attracting Investment

Fully accessible buses allow more residents — including seniors and people with disabilities — to travel to work, school, healthcare, and shopping. This increased mobility supports retail, service, and tourism spending.

Regions with reliable, green public transit can attract new businesses, events, and residents who value sustainability and accessibility. For many companies, transit availability is a deciding factor when choosing a location.

‍
