Türkiye's technology and mobility brand Togg became the third company with the most patent applications in Türkiye in 2025, with 442 applications according to TÜRKPATENT data. The company frequently states that it conceptualises the vehicle not merely as a means of transport from point A to point B, but as a third living space. When we at Yuzde100yerli.com reviewed Togg's most current patent files in the registration process, we saw that this vision is not just a marketing slogan but is directly reflected in the engineering work. From rollable solar panels to AI-powered ceiling displays, biometric security to windows projecting onto the outside world, here is the analysis of those game-changing technologies that Togg is preparing to integrate into its future models (T10F and beyond).
The global automotive industry is undergoing a massive transformation where mechanical engines are being replaced by batteries and gears by software codes. In this transformation, the true value of companies is measured by the Intellectual Property (IP) pool they hold, rather than the hardware they produce. Togg is concretely proving with its patent applications that it is not a traditional car factory that simply assembles parts from outside, but an R&D base developing its own technology.
The 7 critical patents that Togg has applied for in the last year, which we have reviewed, show that the company focuses on four main engineering pillars: In-Cabin User Experience (UX), Energy and Range Optimisation, Digital Communication with the Outside World (V2X), and Driving Comfort. Let's take a closer look at the technical details of these strategic patents that will shape the electric car market.
Digital Sky in the Cabin: AI-Powered Virtual Ceiling
In traditional cars, panoramic sunroofs are among the top features used to add spaciousness to the cabin. However, Togg is completely digitising this ceiling concept with patent application number 2024/019227.
According to the patent summary, the company is turning the vehicle's ceiling into a massive, high-resolution, light-reflecting projection screen. The system does not merely play standard videos from the vehicle's computer. The main engineering breakthrough lies in the system's ability to project live images from outside or content generated in real-time by Artificial Intelligence (AI) onto the ceiling.
Imagine watching a moving galaxy created by artificial intelligence on your ceiling during a night journey. Or envision the vehicle's ceiling transforming into a sunny summer sky on a rainy, overcast day. This technology will completely eliminate the feeling of claustrophobia for passengers in the cabin, especially when the era of autonomous driving begins, and will serve as a massive canvas for displaying digital art (NFT) works within the Trumore ecosystem.
Biometric Security Wall: Vehicle Control with Fingerprint
As physical keys give way to smartphone applications, Togg is taking the security architecture one step further. Patent application number 2024/005200 ensures that the vehicle's ignition (start function) is directly controlled and activated by the user's fingerprint.
This system offers two major strategic benefits. First, absolute protection against theft. Even if your key or phone is cloned, the vehicle will not move without your fingerprint. Second, perfect personalisation. The moment the driver places their finger on the sensor on the steering wheel or console, the vehicle will recognise them. Within milliseconds, seat position, mirrors, favourite music playlist, air conditioning temperature, and navigation history will be automatically loaded specifically for that person.
Open-Air Cinema in Nature: Windscreen Projection System
Electric vehicles today serve not only as a means of transport but also as massive mobile power sources. Togg's patent number 2024/018375 brings the Windscreen Projection System to life by combining this mobile power concept with entertainment. According to the patent document, a special projection device integrated into the vehicle's windscreen projects multimedia content directly to the outside of the vehicle.
In traditional camping or nature trips, users can play music externally through the vehicle's sound system. However, they cannot naturally benefit from the vehicle's digital screens in the outdoor environment. Those wanting to enjoy a movie outside have to carry an external portable projector and power source. With this patent, Togg completely eliminates the need for external devices and outlets. The system draws its energy directly from the vehicle's high-capacity battery, projecting high-resolution video content from the windscreen onto an external screen, tent, or wall. As a result, Togg users can transform their vehicle into a massive open-air cinema in seconds while in a remote forest or campsite.
Range-Extending Innovation: Rollable Solar Panel Side Sill
Among the patents we examined, the most revolutionary and surprising from an engineering perspective is undoubtedly application number 2024/019909. In electric vehicles, solar panels are typically placed on the vehicle's roof. However, the roof area is limited, and the energy obtained is very restricted. Togg engineers are using the vehicle's side sill area to solve this problem.
According to the patent, when the vehicle is parked, the rollable flexible solar panels hidden in a roll within the side sill are mechanically extended outward.
If the solar panels remained outside while driving, they would disrupt the vehicle's aerodynamics and increase air drag. However, Togg's patent eliminates wind resistance by hiding the panels inside the chassis during driving. When the user leaves their vehicle at a campsite or in a sunny parking lot, the large flexible panels that open like a fan from the side sills begin charging the battery. This innovation means free, clean kilometres gained for users experiencing range anxiety, especially during camping and long-distance parking.
Range Shield for Winter: Hybrid Heat Pump
The greatest enemy of electric vehicles is cold weather. When energy is drawn from the battery to heat the cabin in winter, the range drops significantly. To overcome this physical obstacle, Togg designed a new generation heat pump system with patent number 2023/019838.
The patent summary states that the heating, cooling, and dehumidification functions are combined in a single cycle by combining the direct and indirect characteristics of the heating elements.
Classic resistance heaters produce heat by directly consuming electricity. Heat pumps, on the other hand, compress waste heat from outside or the battery and deliver it to the cabin. Togg engineers are combining these two systems in a hybrid architecture. This system will capture the waste heat generated during battery cooling, prevent condensation on windows by removing cabin humidity, and all while drawing minimal energy from the battery. Consequently, Togg users will travel in a warm cabin even during harsh winter months without experiencing range anxiety.
The Formula for Silence: Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for Electric Motors
Electric vehicles are much quieter than internal combustion engine vehicles. However, this can lead to road noise, wind noise, and especially the high-frequency whine from the electric motor being more noticeable in the cabin. Togg is offering an acoustic engineering solution to this problem with patent number 2024/020526.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology, familiar from our headphones, is being integrated into the vehicle. Microphones in the cabin will detect that specific annoying frequency coming from the electric motor. Then, the vehicle's speakers will produce anti-sound waves at an exactly opposite frequency to cancel out the motor noise. Thus, Togg will offer its users that absolute library-like silence found in top-segment luxury cars as a standard feature.
Technology Transcending Physical Limits: Remote Vehicle Management
Togg's patent application number 2024/004455 is titled "A System Providing Remote Management of Vehicle Functions". While managing vehicles with mobile phones is an existing technology today, the sub-elements of this patent aim for a much deeper integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Trumore application.
Togg users will be able to optimise battery temperature, turn on seat heating, or view the vehicle's security cameras live from kilometres away without even getting into the vehicle. This infrastructure also forms the basis for the future Autonomous Summon feature. That is, the user will be able to remotely manoeuvre their vehicle in a tight parking space using their phone to bring it to their location.
From Consumer to Technology Producer
These 7 critical inventions registered with TÜRKPATENT clearly reveal that Togg is not just Türkiye's domestic car, but a hardware/software company that will export high technology to the global mobility ecosystem.
Traditional automotive brands typically prefer to purchase such innovative systems from suppliers at high cost. Togg, on the other hand, is developing and licensing its own technology, from rollable solar panels to acoustic frequency engineering, from AI-powered projection ceilings to biometric security architecture.
In the coming period, these patents are expected to enter mass production in new-generation platforms like the T8X. In short, in line with the National Technology Move vision, Türkiye is transforming from a country that merely assembles designs from other nations into a global game-changer that sets future automotive standards with its own intellectual property.
