DELIVERING LONG-TERM VALUE FOR FLEET OPERATORS

Kerem Erman, Head of Commercial Vehicles, noted that “Otokar buses are recognized for the long-term value they deliver to operators. They stand out not only for their strong resale value but also for their advantages in total cost of ownership (TCO), driven by factors such as after-sales support, high operational reliability, and user satisfaction. These strengths make Otokar a preferred partner for fleet operators, helping them maximize efficiency and profitability across the entire vehicle lifecycle.”

Kerem Erman added that Otokar continues its steady growth not only in Türkiye but also in Europe, and emphasized that the company is progressing with ambitious steps toward its goals: “As we continue to grow in the markets where we operate and strengthen our presence in new ones, we are
continuing our efforts to electrify the vehicles in our product portfolio in line with market demand. Alongside our strong rise in the market, we also distinguish ourselves through our production capabilities. We rank among the top five bus manufacturers in Europe. At our facility, we produce not only our own brand’s vehicles but also for two global brands a reflection of our commitment to quality and production flexibility.”

Erman emphasized that Otokar’s wide range of buses is shaped by customer expectations: “While developing our vehicles we are listening to the needs of operators, drivers, and passengers. Every vehicle we’re showcasing here at Busworld reflects this approach. Thanks to our design, testing and manufacturing capabilities, we are able to respond to the evolving needs and requirements of different users in global markets. Today, more than 66,000 Otokar buses are in service in over 60 countries. Our new-generation vehicles enhance comfort and safety while reducing operating costs and supporting environmental sustainability through alternative-fuel options.”
