At the Togg Gemlik facility in Bursa, the foundation of which was laid on July 18, 2020, preparations for trial production started in two years in line with the plans.
According to the statement made by Togg, the countdown has begun for trial production in line with the plans in the 2 years since the start of construction at the inherently sustainable Gemlik facility, which is the core of Togg’s “Journey to Innovation” goal.
Preparations for trial production continue at the facility, where partial rehearsals at body, paint and assembly stations were carried out successfully. With a “volatile organic compound” emission of less than 5 gr/m2, with a value of 1 9th of the legal limit in Turkey and 1 7th of the legal limit in Europe, the dyehouse is the cleanest in Europe. -The paint of the SUV body was removed and the assembly of parts of the same body was successfully completed at the assembly facility.
The countdown to trial production has begun.
