“That we have elevated to the 13th place from the 15th place in five years shows that we are advancing towards the right direction,” noted President Erdoğan and stated: “What is more, we have achieved this despite successive global crises. Last year, our automobile exports had a foreign trade surplus of over 9 million dollars.”
“THERE IS A GROWING INTEREST IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN TÜRKİYE”
President Erdoğan said: “We as Türkiye are determined to preserve our production and export potential, which we have obtained by swiftly adopting to the technological transformations in the automobile production market. We attach special importance to the investments that will enable us to have a say in the electric and hybrid vehicle production, which is growing exponentially bigger. As is the case in the entire world, there is a growing interest in electric vehicles in Türkiye as well.”
Stressing that 14 million electric vehicles are expected to be sold this year across the world, President Erdoğan added: “Apparently, with the new actors breaking into the market along with the already-present ones, the competition in this area will get increasingly fiercer.

Our aim is to make our county one of the world’s leading actors in electric vehicle and battery production.”
