The Togg C-SUV[lower-alpha 1] is the first model of five electric cars that are planned to be produced by Turkey's Automobile Joint Venture Group Inc.,[13] being a C-segment SUV,[14] which started manufacturing from October 2022.[15]

History

The automotive industry in Turkey has previously produced cars domestically, for example the Anadol brand.

Togg (Turkey's Automobile Joint Venture Group Inc.) was founded as a joint venture in 2018.

Overview

The vehicle was designed by Italian firm Pininfarina,[4][5][6] with a contribution from Turkish designer Murat Günak,[6] based on TOGG's requirements, including a tulip motif.[6] There is a "western" and an "oriental" variant.[16]

Platform

The platform will be shared across all five cars,[17] a compact SUV, a compact sedan, a compact hatchback, a B-segment SUV and a compact MPV.[18]

Motors

There are single (RWD) and dual motor (AWD) options.[19]

Autonomy and communications

According to Zorlu the cars will be constantly connected to the internet by 5G.[20]

Safety

The car conforms to the standards of the European New Car Assessment Programme's five-star rating system applicable by 2022.[21] Cars sold in the home market will be speed limited to 180 km/h.[20][19]

Pricing and competition

Pricing will be similar to competitors C-class electric vehicles.[20] Prior to TOGG the Renault Zoe and BMW i3 were top selling plug-ins.[22]

Production

A factory is being built in Gemlik,[23] with an eventual annual capacity of 175,000 units,[6] mass production vehicles being slated to begin in the final quarter of 2022,[17][24] with a target of a million vehicles by 2030.[18] On 18 July 2020, ground was broken for the factory on the 100 ha (250 acres) site, and construction is planned to take 18 months. When completed, a workforce of over 4,300 will be directly employed in the plant, and about three-quarters of the sourcing will be from within the country.[18]

Batteries

Battery cells will be produced in a joint venture with Chinese company Farasis Energy, and battery modules and packs will be made in Turkey.[16] Farasis says the cells will last for 1 million kilometres and can be charged from 10% to 80% in less than 20 minutes.[10] Another report says the cells will come from Germany.[25] The range is said to be over 500 km, and the standard Turkish electrical power socket (which is 230V) will provide a full charge overnight.[10]

Sales

The government has guaranteed that it will buy 30,000 vehicles by 2035.[18] Exports to Germany may begin a year or more after the car is released in Turkey.[16]

Economics

₺22 billion ($3.21 billion) are slated to be invested[18] and it is hoped the current account deficit of the economy of Turkey will be reduced by US$7.5 billion,[17] due to reduced oil imports and an even greater positive balance of trade in cars.[26][unreliable source?] The CEO said in 2020 that the economy will benefit by 50 billion euros over 15 years by the direct and indirect increase in employment.[18]

Environment

It is hoped to benefit the environment by reducing air pollution in Turkey and greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey.[27]
