Togg aims to produce a total of 20 thousand units in 2023. According to the Incentive Certificate published in the Official Gazette, the number of cars that the public can purchase annually is limited to a maximum of 2,000. In other words, state institutions can purchase a total of 30 thousand units in 15 years. Therefore, 18 thousand units will be sold to the public in the first year.
In addition, production will increase exponentially in 2024 and 2025, 100 thousand units will be produced annually as C-SUV, C-Sedan and CX Coupe in 2026, and 175,000 units will be produced annually in 2030 with B-SUV and C-MPV models. It is said to be in production. In other words, the number of Toggs on the road by the end of 2030 will reach 1 million.
On the export side, it is stated that it is necessary to achieve success in the Turkish market first, and if the targets are positive, they will open up after 18 months. In other words, the last quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 are shown as the date that Togg will start selling in Europe. The number of overseas sales will be 10 percent of the annual production.
Togg cars will not have special names!
Gürcan Karakaş said that a name has not yet been determined for the C-SUV model, which will be available in March next year. However, he explained that no special names will be used on any cars, instead they will have codes consisting of letters and numbers similar to BMW iX, Volvo EX90 and Kia EV6, that is, model names.
All the facts about the locality rate!
Togg’s locality rate has been the subject of debate for a long time. But as of today, the net rates have been announced. According to Karakaş, 75 percent of the parts of the C-SUV model, which will be sold in March, are produced in Turkey.
However, 51 percent of the intellectual and industrial rights of all parts are in the hands of Turkish companies. In other words, although 24 percent of it is produced in our country, the property rights are in the hands of foreign companies. For this reason, the real locality rate of the first vehicle to be sold is not 75 percent, but 51 percent. However, it was said that it is aimed to increase this rate to 68 percent within 3 years.
