Automotive has been one of Turkey’s leading and still growing industries since the early 1960s. What began as an assembly-based formation turned into a fully fledged industry over time.
During the 14-year period from 2000 to 2014, OEM companies (original equipment manufacturers) invested approximately $12 billion in the automotive industry. With this volume of investment, Turkey became a critical and valuable base for the global automotive industry.
