Damera International's Midlife Refurbishment Projects in Jamaica

At Damera International, we are dedicated to enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of public transit fleets. Our midlife refurbishment projects in Jamaica exemplify this commitment, providing comprehensive solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of the country’s public transit system.

Transforming Aging Fleets

In collaboration with local transit agencies, Damera International conducts thorough assessments of aging buses to determine their refurbishment potential. These assessments include evaluating critical components such as engines, transmissions, HVAC systems, and chassis integrity. The goal is to restore buses to optimal operating condition while extending their service life by an additional 7–10 years.

Benefits for Jamaica's Transit System

By investing in midlife refurbishments, Jamaican transit agencies can significantly reduce the costs associated with purchasing new buses while improving fleet reliability and performance. Refurbished buses not only ensure safer and more comfortable travel for passengers but also support environmental sustainability by extending the life of existing vehicles and reducing waste.

Supporting Local Workforce Development

Damera International’s refurbishment projects also focus on local capacity building. We partner with academic institutions and government programs to train local mechanics and technicians, ensuring they have the skills required to maintain refurbished fleets and contribute to the long-term success of Jamaica’s public transit infrastructure.

Driving Economic and Environmental Impact

Our midlife refurbishment initiatives are not just about buses—they are about driving economic growth and environmental sustainability. By revitalizing existing fleets, we help reduce the carbon footprint of transit operations while empowering local communities through job creation and skills development.

Damera International is proud to play a vital role in supporting Jamaica’s public transit evolution, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for all.
