Temsa continues to solidify its position as a leader in Spain’s bus market, achieving a fivefold increase in sales over the past two years. The company made a strong impact at the FIAA 2024 in Madrid, where it presented four innovative vehicle models, reflecting its commitment to the evolving needs of the market.
Temsa’s lineup at FIAA included the HD, MD9, Prestij SX, and LDSB E, showcasing its broad expertise in conventional and electric buses. Serkan Uzunay, Temsa West Europe Deputy General Manager of Sales, highlighted the company’s rapid growth in Spain, where sales for 2024 have already reached 164 units. “We are on track to close the year with nearly 200 vehicles sold in Spain alone. This represents a significant fivefold increase compared to our 2022 performance,” Uzunay stated.
“One of the key drivers of our success in the Spanish market is our customer-centric approach. To sustain this performance and make Temsa’s strong footprint in Spain and surrounding markets permanent, we continuously enhance our after-sales services in collaboration with our dealer Marin Ayala” added Uzunay.
With its strengthened dealership and service network across 22 countries and three continents, Temsa’s global footprint continues to grow, especially in Europe. According to industry reports, Temsa’s sales across the continent grew by 169% in the first half of 2024.
Cutting-edge vehicles cater to a wide range of needs
Temsa’s vehicles on display offered a wide range of benefits, setting them apart from competitors. For example, the HD model stood out with its high fuel efficiency, low operational costs, and high torque, ideal for versatile use in transportation. Its superior fuel tank capacity and tight turning radius provide a competitive edge in both urban and long-distance travel.
The MD9 was praised for its exceptional handling and maneuverability, combined with high passenger and luggage capacity. This model, renowned as a leader in comfort within its segment, has been a top choice for operators looking for a durable, high-performance bus.
Meanwhile, the LDSB E showcased Temsa’s pioneering efforts in electric mobility. As the first intercity electric bus in Europe, it comes with flexible battery options, making it suitable for various scenarios, from school transportation to intercity travel. Its accessibility features, such as a wheelchair lift, underscore its design for inclusivity.
Finally, the Prestij SX boasted low total cost of ownership (TCO) and high fuel efficiency, making it an economically smart choice. It offers affordable upfront costs and lower operational expenses compared to competitors, providing strong returns on investment for operators.
Sustainability and growth at the core of Temsa’s vision
Since 2020, Temsa has been operating under a partnership between Sabancı Holding and the PPF Group. This collaboration has significantly contributed to the company’s continuous global expansion.
Temsa’s participation in FIAA 2024 also reflects its broader vision for the future of mobility. “As we expand in Europe, with Spain being a key focus, our goal is to lead in both conventional and electric vehicle markets,” Uzunay said. “The electrification of mobility is at the heart of our strategy, and our zero-emission buses are a key part of Europe’s green transition.”
Looking ahead, Temsa remains committed to sustainability and financial growth, underpinned by its strong presence in both electric and conventional bus segments. “Our ambitious growth in Spain and across Europe is just the beginning. We will continue to drive forward with our vision of creating innovative, sustainable mobility solutions for a better future,” Uzunay concluded.
