Tofaş automotive manufacturing expansion

Overview

Tofaş is expanding its role as a multi-brand production hub within the Stellantis group, specifically through the K9 project.

In late September 2026, discussions between Tofaş and Opel executives in Germany focused on strategic cooperation, electrification, and the manufacturing of models such as the Opel Zafira, Vivaro, and the upcoming mass production of the Opel Combo.

Following these discussions, Citroën CEO Xavier Chardon visited the Tofaş Bursa Factory in Turkey to inspect technological infrastructure and production lines. This visit highlighted the transition from the K0 project, which produced Citroën Jumpy and SpaceTourer models, toward the local production of the Berlingo model under the K9 project. Citroën leadership noted that Turkey is expected to become the brand’s second-largest global market in 2025.
