Fields of Activity: Bozankaya was founded in 1989 in Germany as an R&D company. In 2003, the company expanded to Turkey, where it became a powerful domestic brand, building on its R&D investments of the previous years. Bozankaya started out in Turkey with initially 20 employees, and has now grown to around 1.000 employees, including nearly 100 R&D engineers in its R&D Center. Bozankaya own the intellectual property rights to the vehicles and technology produced at its facilities in Ankara and is proud to have produced the first fully electric bus in Turkey. In 2018, Bozankaya expanded further with the new, 100.000m² production center in the Sincan 1st Organized Industrial Zone on the outskirts of Ankara. This facility, an investment of 50M€, was specifically designed for the production of rail system vehicles such as metro trains, trams as well as electric commercial vehicles such as the trambus and e-bus. E-Bus (SILEO): SILEO is a 100% electrical, environmentally friendly, low-noise bus for municipal transport. Four different versions, with a length of 10 m, 12 m, 18m or 25m respectively, offer a passenger capacity of 75 to 232 persons. A 100% low floor ensures quick passenger pick up and drop off. SILEO complies with the requirements of the Italian CUNA and the German VDV and StVZO. SILEO e-buses provide clean, quiet transport and are therefore perfectly suited for busy city traffic: Their electrical drives help protect the microclimate, lower harmful emissions, reduce noise levels in cities, and meet the European Union’s strict air pollution standards. SILEO recuperates up to 75% of its brake energy, which increases the bus’s range significantly. On average, SILEO consumes 0.8 kWh/km under ordinary operating conditions. Bozankaya introduced the new generation SILEO e-bus at the Busworld Europe 2017 Exhibition. The new-generation SILEO e-buses will be available from 2018. Tram: Bozankaya trams are an environmentally friendly, low-noise transport solution. Our pioneer design combines high passenger capacity with low energy consumption, zero emissions and modern design. Produced with the most advanced technology, Bozankaya trams are an ideal solution for urban transport due to their outstanding performance and effectiveness. The 100% low floor design ensures ease of access while a comfortable and well-lit passenger space provides for a pleasant travel experience. The conventional bogie design minimises noise and vibrations while ensuring driver and passenger comfort. Bozankaya trams are suited for diverse urban conditions and the modular design provides for flexibility. Our trams combine passenger comfort with maximum safety. Trambus: The trambus obtains power from an overhead electricity line (catenary) along the route, and falls back on its battery system where there is no electricity line. As its body is modeled on railway carriages, it has higher passenger capacity. Infrastructure costs are lower as it does not require railways and, by using the roads, offers more flexibility with respect to routes. Bozankaya’s trambus is a zero-emission, environmentally friendly electric transport system with higher passenger capacity than conventional diesel engines (its engine and transmission organs do not occupy any place), offering safe and comfortable journeys: The 18m vehicles can accommodate up to 140 passengers, and the 25m vehicles up to 240 passengers. It is also eminently suited for hilly areas as it can climb inclines of up to 18%. The trambus combines low investment costs with economic operating costs. The most important difference between trams, subway trains, trambus and conventional buses is that they are driven by multiple shafts. Buses are driven by a single shaft in a single engine since it is not possible to control the speed of multiple diesel engines.
