Togg Turkish national cars[lower-alpha 1] are five electric cars that are planned to be produced by Turkey's Automobile Joint Venture Group Inc.,[5] the first being a C-segment SUV.[6]

History

The automotive industry in Turkey has previously attempted to produce cars domestically, for example the Anadol brand.

Company

This section is an excerpt from TOGG[ edit ]

Economics

22 billion lira ($3.21 billion) are slated to be invested[7] and it is hoped the current account deficit of the economy of Turkey will be reduced by US$7.5 billion,[8] due to reduced oil imports and an even greater positive balance of trade in cars.[9][unreliable source?] The CEO said in 2020 that the economy will benefit by 50 billion euros over 15 years by the direct and indirect increase in employment.[7]

Environment

It is hoped to benefit the environment by reducing air pollution in Turkey and greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey.[10]

Design and branding

Italian car designer Pininfarina designed the car based on TOGG's requirements, including a tulip motif.[11] There is a "western" and an "oriental" variant.[12]

Platform

The platform will be shared across all five cars,[8] a C-SUV, C-sedan, C-hatchback, B-segment SUV and C-MPV.[7]

Production

A factory is being built in Gemlik,[13] with an eventual annual capacity of 175,000 units,[11] mass production vehicles being slated to begin in the final quarter of 2022,[8][14] with a target of a million vehicles by 2030.[7] On 18 July 2020 ground was broken for the factory on the 100 ha (250 acres) site, and construction is planned to take 18 months. When completed, a workforce of over 4,300 will be directly employed in the plant, and about three quarters of the sourcing will be from within the country.[7]

Batteries

Battery cells will be produced in a joint venture with Chinese company Farasis Energy, and battery modules and packs will be made in Turkey.[12] Farasis says the cells will last for 1 million kilometers and can be charged from 10% to 80% in less than 20 minutes.[3] Another report says the cells will come from Germany.[15] The range is said to be over 500 km,[3] and the standard Turkish electrical power socket (which is 230V) will provide a full charge overnight.

Motors

There are single (RWD) and dual motor (AWD) options .[16]

Autonomy and communications

The cars will have level 2 or level 3 autonomy.[17] According to Zorlu the cars will be constantly connected to the internet by 5G.[18]

Safety

The car conforms to the standards of the European New Car Assessment Programme's five-star rating system applicable by 2022.[19] Cars sold in the home market will be speed limited to 180 km/h[18][16](the national motorway speed limit is 130 kph some and 140 kph km/h[20][better source needed]).

Pricing and competition

Pricing will be similar to competitors C-class electric vehicles.[18] Prior to TOGG the Renault Zoe and BMW i3 were top selling plug-ins.[21]

Sales

The government has guaranteed that it will buy 30,000 vehicles by 2035.[7] Exports to Germany may begin a year or more after the car is released in Turkey.[12]
