Let's Close the Gap in Mobility

When someone needs transit but can’t access it — due to limited mobility, long distances to bus stops, or unreliable scheduling — it creates a real gap in equity and opportunity. That’s the gap we’re here to close.

The goal of transit isn’t just movement — it’s freedom, access, and dignity for everyone.

Our electric minibuses Damera Vero are purpose-built for door-to-destination service — featuring low-floor entry, built-in ramps, and ADA-compliant design that empowers passengers to board independently, without assistance.

Low-Floor Entry

Superior Boarding Experience

ADA-Compliant Design
Lower step heights at both entrances make boarding easier and safer for all passengers—including seniors, children, and those with mobility aids. The Damera Vero is designed to reduce physical strain and enhance overall ride accessibility from the very first step.

This flexibility allows agencies to tailor the interior for specific route needs—whether it’s a microtransit service in dense urban areas or a paratransit operation requiring high accessibility. By adapting to different passenger volumes and mobility requirements, Vero ensures every trip is both efficient and inclusive, maximizing capacity without compromising comfort or compliance.

Battery Performance You Can Count On—Year-Round

The Damera Vero is equipped with advanced thermal management systems to maintain battery efficiency in all weather conditions. In cold climates, an integrated preheater warms the battery and cabin before departure, helping preserve range and reduce energy draw during operation. In hot weather, the system shifts to active cooling—protecting the battery from overheating and ensuring optimal performance. This smart thermal control not only extends battery life but also guarantees dependable service in every season.

This cutting-edge option simplifies charging operations, reduces wear on connectors, and allows for opportunity charging during scheduled stops—keeping the vehicle in service longer and maintenance downtime lower. It's a smart solution for agencies looking to modernize their fleets with efficiency and innovation.

Investment that will last

The Damera Vero is purpose-built as a transit vehicle from the ground up.
Its robust, integrated body structure ensures better durability, improved ride quality, and long-term reliability.
