President Recep Tayyip Erdogan unveiled a prototype of Turkey’s first domestically electric car on Friday in Gebze, a district near Istanbul.

“Today we share with you, the 60 years long-held dream of manufacturing a national car as we promised 2 years ago.”

Two domestic electric car prototypes were unveiled with production expected to begin in 2022.  The government-supported venture is set to cost more than €3 billion, with plans to produce five models in 15 years.

A planned factory in Bursa, Turkey’s fourth-largest city, south of Istanbul, is expected to produce up to 175,000 SUV and sedan units per year by 2022, just a year before national elections and the hundredth anniversary of the Turkish Republic.

“Turkey has become a country which is not only a market for new technologies but also a country which develops, produces and exports them to the world.”

He later posted a video on Twitter of him test-driving one of the cars, saying he would reserve one for himself.

Germany is the European heart and the most popular country among the countries of the Union. Not only because of its political, economic and industrial role; but rather the combination of its fascinating history and urban culture with modernity and development in all fields of life.
