Togg delivers more than 2,000 cars<br />
The number of Togg vehicles on Türkiye’s roads has exceeded<br />
2,000, Technology and Industry Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacır has<br />
said. Türkiye’s first indigenous electric carmaker delivered more<br />
cars in the first half of August than it did in the whole of July, Kacır<br />
wrote on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.<br />
“The production [of Togg cars] will accelerate. The target is to<br />
manufacture a total of 28,000 Togg T10X model vehicles by the end<br />
of the year,” the minister said.<br />
Kacır, together with Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek,<br />
visited the carmaker’s production and innovation campus on Aug. 17.<br />
“The target is to become a global power,” Kacır wrote on X.<br />
Between Aug. 1 and 18, Togg delivered a total of 909 T10X model<br />
cars to customers, while July deliveries were 627.<br />
Until mid-Aug, the company delivered 2,344 vehicles.<br />
Pre-orders for the Togg T10X were taken online from March 16 to<br />
27, and some 177,000 vehicles were sold online. The first buyers of<br />
Togg’s EV model T10 were selected through a digital draw.<br />
In his remarks in July, Kacır said that Togg will produce a total of 1<br />
million vehicles by 2032.<br />
Some 97 percent of those vehicles will be sold to consumers,<br />
while the public institutions will buy the remaining 3 percent, the<br />
minister said at that time.<br />
Kacır also announced that Togg will introduce a new Sedan model<br />
to the market toward the end of 2024.<br />
Türkiye’s electric vehicle market has been growing fast.<br />
In the first seven months of <strong>2023</strong>, electric vehicle sales leaped<br />
nearly 584 percent from a year ago to 17,307, accounting for 3.4<br />
percent of all vehicle sales in the country.<br />
