Evaluating production and domestic market performance Alper Hook He continued as follows: “We see that we have achieved the last year in terms of automotive production performance in June-July. Of course, we are about 2017 percent behind the best in 37. Despite this, high demand in the domestic market triggers production. Turkey's domestic market did not expect this big will explode. There is an incredible demand. A painting in which we are completely separated from the world. We talk to our European colleagues and they ask "How do people buy vehicles?" We think Turkey needs to eliminate its accumulated several years. We're fine even in April-May. When we look at June, sales increased by 65 percent compared to last year, and 384 percent in July. When we look at 2017, there is a 30 percent decrease. The size of these rates is of course also due to the fact that 2019 was not a very good year. "

As Automotive Supply Industry, we know the importance of new technologies and work on new parts and systems. all OEM parts on production in Turkey Companies with this that we are ready and willing to work will continue to be expressed in different platforms and we are not.
