Turkey to unveil a prototype of first indigenous car, which also happens to be electric. Five models of the car will be manufactured at a special production plant in Bursa
The project, launched on October 30, will receive state support, including tax breaks, and establish a production facility in the northwestern province of Bursa, according to a presidential decision published by the gazette.
Five models of the car will be produced by a workforce of more than 4,000 people, the statement said. Turkey is a large exporter of vehicles to Europe, but the cars are made by global autos firms, usually in joint ventures with local partners. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan unveiled plans in November 2017 to launch a car made entirely in Turkey by 2021.
At the time, he said a consortium of five firms – including mobile phone operator Turkcell and the parent of TV maker Vestel – had been selected to produce the car.For years, Erdogan's Justice and Development Party has held a goal of bringing about the production of a homegrown car, seeing it as proof of the country's growing economic might.
