We worked together day and night with pleasure at every stage from the completion of the establishment and structural processes to the delivery of the vehicles to the customer. It is impossible for me to forget the pleasant conversations we had with our customers in the store and the happiness I felt when personally delivering some of the vehicles. Behind this happiness, of course, lie the many innovations and successes we bring to our customers and the industry; As an automotive brand, we offered a direct and online purchasing experience for the first time (without importing distributors and dealers). “We became the first foreign automotive brand to go through the BTK approval process and provide services related to the domestic operator.”
