The company, which began mass production in 1971, has expanded its annual capacity to 500,000 units. Following this milestone, the factory officially launched the Doblo (K9) production project. This $300 million investment is a collaboration between Koç Holding and Stellantis, marking the return of the Fiat Doblo to the Bursa plant after a three-year hiatus. The project involves the production of five different models across four Stellantis brands: Fiat Doblo, Citroën Berlingo, Opel Combo, Peugeot Partner, and Peugeot Rifter. The new production line aims for an annual capacity of 100,000 vehicles, with long-term plans to reach a total production scale of 660,000 units by 2034. The facility is also equipped for the production of electric light commercial vehicles, and approximately 20 percent of the manufactured vehicles are intended for export. During the launch, Turkey’s Minister of Industry and Technology, Mehmet Fatih Kacır, highlighted the country’s role as a strategic hub for automotive and mobility investments, noting that Turkey has become a “vital production hub for Europe.” The initiative is expected to create approximately 1,000 new jobs and support around 100 local suppliers. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-26: Tofaş launches $300 million K9 production project in Bursa Tofaş and Stellantis have commenced a $300 million production project in Bursa, Turkey, manufacturing five light commercial vehicle models including the Fiat Doblò. 13 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tofa-begins-production-of-doblo-k9-in-bursa ### 2026-10-19: Tofaş produces 7.5 millionth vehicle at Bursa factory Tofaş celebrated the production of its 7.5 millionth vehicle, a Fiat Ulysse, at its Bursa factory, marking a significant milestone in its growth from a small manufacturer to a 500,000-unit annual capacity hub. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tofa-produces-75-millionth-vehicle-at-bursa-factory --- Cite as: Tofaş automotive production in Bursa.
