While doing this, Sabancı’s higher goal is always Turkey’s development; It has been the welfare of the Turkish people. The principle of ‘Sharing what you earn from these lands with the people of these lands’ guided Sabancı in all these steps. More important than creating a partnership is to maintain this partnership smoothly. This culture is in Sabancı’s genes.
For this reason, in our cooperation with FUSO and TEMSA, we have been focusing not only on what is right for Sabancı but also on what is right for our business since the first day. “The materials we use in our vehicles may change, engine options may change from conventional to electric, but for us, the real raw material of our collaborations is this partnership culture,” he said. “
Stating that they have opened a new page in the 40-year business partnership between TEMSA and FUSO, TEMSA CEO Tolga Kaan Doğancıoğlu said, “Within the scope of the distributorship agreement signed between TEMSA and Mitsubishi in 1984, we started with the distribution of Canter in 1986, and strengthened with the production of the first Fuso-based Maraton in 1987. We are consolidating our cooperation that paved the way for Canter and Prestij productions in 2018. Together with eCanter, we will now mobilize our 40-year collaboration for the electric transformation of the light truck market.
Our top priority is to use our own power, technology and resources for the transformation of our ecosystem. The Canter ecosystem is as broad as our other focus area, the bus ecosystem. It is at the very center of sectors such as public, construction, food and retail, which are actually the backbone of Turkey. Therefore, this path opened by eCanter is not only about the green transformation of the light truck market; “This will make a significant contribution to the transformation of all sectors in the neighboring areas and in Canter’s customer portfolio,” he said.
Stating that TEMSA is one of the world’s leading brands in the zero-emission vehicle range today, Tolga Kaan Doğancıoğlu said, “Until eCanter, we had a total of 10 different zero-emission vehicles, 8 of which were electric and 2 were hydrogen. With eCanter, we now increase this number.” We turn it up to 11. As TEMSA, we have always said:
‘We always support our customers on every road.’ We have always demonstrated this with our vehicles and after-sales support services. We continue to put it. One of the key elements of TEMSA achieving 3-digit growth performances in the last 3 years is actually putting our customers at the center of our business. Not just talking, but carrying what he says into reality. “We will repeat the same success at eCanter.” said.
Adding that the world is changing incredibly quickly, Tolga Kaan Doğancıoğlu said: “And today, the greatest skill in the ecosystem is actually being fast. You can develop the best technologies, but it is not possible to be successful if you cannot bring them to market quickly. Therefore, this system directs all of us to cooperate, work together, and do the right job in the fastest way.
This is the period of getting results. This is the period of changing habits, creating a new business culture, and spreading the results of this culture to society and the ecosystem. “The business partnerships we have established with FUSO, our business partner in Canter, our sister company Skoda Transportation, CaetanoBus, with which we carried out the R&D work of Turkey’s first intercity hydrogen bus, and ASELSAN, with which we developed Turkey’s first domestic electric bus, are the strongest indicators of this approach.”
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation International Sales and Customer Services Group President Andreas Deuschle said: “We are extremely excited to take our competence in commercial vehicles to the next level by bringing our zero-emission light truck eCanter to Turkey together with TEMSA. “We will continue to lead the commercial vehicle industry by continuing our long-term cooperation with TEMSA.”
