SANY and FMT Türkiye have launched a joint venture to establish Turkey as a production hub for electric commercial vehicles, targeting markets in Europe and Central Asia. The project involves an initial $50 million investment, with plans to scale to $500 million over five years. The operations are based at a 26,000-square-meter Integrated Production and Operation Center in the Ankara ASO 2nd Organized Industrial Zone. This facility will manage manufacturing, assembly, servicing, and technical support. The venture aims to introduce eight different vehicle models to the Turkish market by the end of 2027 and reach an annual production capacity of 30,000 units within five years. Field tests of the electric trucks indicate energy cost savings of over 80% compared to diesel alternatives.
