PRIDE OF 85 MILLION
Emphasizing the importance of Togg, President Erdoğan said, “Togg is the name of the project that makes us all enjoy this common dream for a strong future of our country. We are witnessing the realization of a 60-year-old dream with this first vehicle, which we took off the mass production line and brought before you. Red on one side, white on the other. You probably understand what it means. It is the blood that makes the flags the flag, the land is the homeland if there is anyone who dies for it. For this reason, 'Togg is the common pride of 85 million people in Turkey.' we say.” used his statements.
1 MILLION VEHICLES

PRODUCTION BASE
Recalling that they said "Turkey will be the production base of electric vehicles" when they set out on this road, President Erdoğan said, "Togg is the locomotive on the way to this goal. Brethren, wherever the locomotive goes, the wagons go too. Global companies have a great interest in our country in terms of electric vehicle investments. With the support of our Ministry of Industry and Technology, we are implementing a project that will install over 81 fast charging units in all 1500 provinces in order to expand the charging infrastructure. In this context, we have granted electric vehicle charging station operating licenses to 54 companies.

Today, the testing and certification processes of the vehicles that come off the mass production line begin immediately. Since Togg will also dust the European roads, it will have the technical qualification certificate sought in those markets. So hopefully we will see Togg on our roads at the end of the first quarter of 2023.” said.
PRE-SALE IN FEBRUARY
Stating that another issue is how citizens can own Togg, Erdoğan said, “Our citizens will be able to place their Togg orders with the pre-sale that will start in February. Pre-sale and order terms will be announced by the company when the time comes. One of the most curious issues is what will be the price of the vehicle? We will decide together with the brave men that the price of Togg will be determined in a way that will ensure its competitiveness in the market conditions. It is both correct and impossible to announce the price of a product that will be released to the market at the end of March next year. I think the price of Togg will be announced in February when the pre-sale will start.” he said.
MINISTER VARANK: “MORE THAN A FACTORY”
Industry and Technology Minister Mustafa Varank stated that Togg is a project that will shape the future of the automotive industry and said, “In short, Togg is a technology that transforms and transforms its user.
