Otokar has marked another milestone with the 30,000th Navigo bus that rolled out of the factory. On this occasion, also the 5,000th Otokar Atlas truck, doing the heavy lifting for businesses for over 11 years, also rolled off the production line.

second year. Otokar states the "Sultan" is Türkiye’s best-selling bus in its segment for over 15 years and is exported to European countries such as France, Belgium, Spain, Italy and Poland. Now a days the Navigo is active in more than 40 countries. The Navigo is available in lengths from 7.2m to 9.2m and various passenger capacities.
