Industry and Technology Minister Fatih Kacır announced that Togg will unveil its sedan model to the public at the end of 2024 and will begin exporting to Europe in 2025.
Speaking to Haber Globel, Minister Kacır stated that Togg has delivered 15,000 vehicles without any problems to date and that 20,000 vehicles will be delivered to those who pre-ordered by the end of the year, as promised. Minister Kacır also revealed that Togg's factory will produce three times more vehicles next year than it does this year. He further stated that Togg is working on a sedan model and that it will be unveiled to the public by the end of 2024. Minister Kacır added that Togg vehicles will begin being sold abroad by 2025, and that production of the sedan model will also commence at that time.
Can Togg compete in the European market?
Togg, Türkiye's first domestically produced electric car, has attracted attention as one of the country's largest technology projects in recent years. Togg is Türkiye's first domestic car brand and aims to reach a production of 20,000 vehicles by the end of 2023. Togg's design, performance, safety, and smart features are said to be at a level that can compete in the European electric car market.
Who manufactures Togg's battery?
The battery, one of Togg's most critical components, is of great importance in terms of both performance and safety. So, who manufactures Togg's battery?
Togg has partnered with Chinese energy company Farasis for battery production. Farasis is known as one of the world's leading lithium-ion battery manufacturers. Siro Silk Road Clean Energy Storage Technologies, Farasis's subsidiary in Türkiye, will produce battery modules and packs specifically designed for Togg.
Siro Silk Road is establishing Türkiye's first battery factory in Gebze with a $1 billion investment. The factory is planned to be completed soon and reach an annual capacity of 10 GWh. This will enable TOGG to meet its battery needs in line with its annual production target of 175,000 vehicles.
TOGG’un bataryası, hem teknolojik hem de çevresel açıdan ileri seviyede olacak. Bataryanın enerji yoğunluğu 240 Wh/kg olarak belirlendi. Bu da, Togg’un SUV modelinin tek şarjla 500 km menzile kolaylıkla ulaşabileceği anlamına geliyor. Ayrıca, bataryanın ömrü boyunca %80 kapasite koruma oranına sahip olması ve 8 yıl veya 240 bin km garantisi verilmesi bekleniyor.
Efforts are also underway to ensure the battery is environmentally sustainable. The battery's raw material, lithium, will be sourced from Türkiye. This will reduce import dependency and lower the carbon footprint. Furthermore, work is continuing to ensure the battery is recyclable.
Togg's battery can be described as the heart of the domestic automobile. This battery, which is advanced both technologically and environmentally, will enable Togg to be competitive in the electric mobility sector.
