Good news came from TOGG, Turkey's domestic and national car. Industry and Technology Minister Mustafa Varank Polatlı made important statements about the domestic automobile TOGG at the Controlmatik Technology Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Factory Groundbreaking Ceremony. Minister Varank pointed to the date when TOGG, which Turkey is eagerly waiting for, will get off the mass production line.
Noting that the need for energy is increasing day by day with rapid technological developments, Varank said, “The storage of energy as well as its production and transmission is a vital issue. The value of this investment will become clearer when evaluated together with the electric vehicle and consumer electronics sectors.” made its assessment.
Stating that the internal combustion engine technology using fossil fuels is history, Varank pointed out that most of the cost of electric vehicles that will replace them is due to batteries.
Critical Aspect for Charging Infrastructure
Stating that energy storage systems are also a critical element for the charging infrastructure, Varank said, “We, as a country, made a rapid entry into the electric vehicle sector with Turkey's Automobile in this period when competitive conditions were equalized. Everything is working fine on the project at the moment. Hopefully, at the end of the year, the first vehicles will come off the mass production line, but we are aware that battery technologies will be very effective in the long-term success of projects like TOGG.” said.
When will TOGG mass production be over?

TOGG Collaboration with FAASIS
For this reason, reminding that there was a cooperation between FARASİS and TOGG, one of the world's largest battery manufacturers, Varank stated that investment studies for the production of batteries to be used in Turkey's Automobile are continuing at full speed in Gemlik. Noting that Ford Otosan also has a similar investment in Turkey, Varank noted that the aforementioned company will announce the good news about a large battery investment very soon.
