Of the five buses that Otokar displayed, it was the Kent Electra that drew the most attention.

Leveraging Otokar’s experience in building some of the best and most regarded buses, the Kent Electra measures 12 m in length. A flagship offering of the company, it is backed by its manufacturer’s ambition to become a global brand. Capable of carrying up to 95 passengers (29 seated and 65 standing), the bus is fitted with a ZF AVE 130 electric portal axle. It produces a maximum power of 250 kW and contains four packs of seven Lithium-Ion batteries amounting to 350 kWh capacity. Available with two or three doors as per the application, the bus features independent front wheel suspension and active safety technologies like ABS, EBS and ASR. Fully charged in four hours through depot charging, the bus, without the need of any infrastructure along the route, can run for up to 300 km.
