Compact Accessible Mini Bus
with multiple seating layouts available
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.
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.
Superior Boarding Experience
With dual-ramp access — both a sliding side door and a swing-out rear door — the Vero ensures faster, more efficient boarding and greater flexibility at every stop.
We are currently using a 32-inch
overall width manual ramp
for the rear door
The Damera Vero offers multiple seating layouts, including options with 1 to 4 wheelchair spaces. 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.
The Damera Vero isn’t just an electric vehicle
—it’s a step toward healthier communities and a more sustainable planet.
By choosing the Vero, agencies invest not only in advanced transportation — but in better daily experiences and a greener tomorrow.
The Damera Vero is designed to seamlessly integrate into neighborhoods and city centers with minimal disruption and maximum benefit. Its all-electric, zero-emission drivetrain reduces local air pollution and eliminates engine noise—making streets quieter and cleaner. With a modern, low-floor design that prioritizes accessibility and rider comfort, Vero creates a more inclusive transit experience. These community-friendly features, combined with its smaller size and customizable layouts, make it an ideal solution for areas where public support and quality of life matter most.
The Damera Vero is equipped with a highly efficient electric motor designed for smooth, quiet, and low-maintenance operation.
Its strong torque ensures responsive acceleration, even on hills or during frequent stops, making it ideal for urban and paratransit routes.
With a simplified drive system and excellent energy efficiency, the motor supports longer range, lower operating costs, and a more reliable, rider-friendly experience.
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.
The Damera Vero supports inductive charging technology, enabling seamless, wireless energy transfer without the need for physical plugs. 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.
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.
Engineered for versatility—ideal for suburban neighborhoods, tight city streets, and dedicated transit services in urban environments.

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.
