BMC CEO Mehmet Demirpençe stated that they are not open to offers such as partnerships or share sales, and that Çukurova Holding is determined to remain independent.
Responding to questions from an AA correspondent, Demirpençe provided information about the production and markets of trucks, buses, and defense sector vehicles. He stated that the stagnation in the market during the 18-month period after mid-2008 directly affected truck demand, but that a better period began in 2010, with an increase in demand. However, he added that they found it difficult to make predictions for the future. "There's a sign that the markets are starting to move, which is a good indicator. Hopefully, no political or economic obstacles will stand in the way. We live in a region of the world where if a problem arises in our neighbor's country, it can affect us too. We live in a dangerous area. Therefore, we have to speak cautiously and start each sentence with 'God willing'," Demirpençe said, adding that they were experiencing a better period in the bus sector compared to trucks.
