If the bill submitted to the parliament is accepted, some plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) will be provided with a discount on SCT.
As reported by Emre Özpeynirci If the bill submitted to the Parliament is accepted (Waiting to be accepted), after fully electric cars, plug-in hybrid cars will also receive a discount on SCT. According to this proposal, the SCT rates for plug-in hybrid cars with carbon dioxide emissions below 25 grams and an electric range of 70 km and above will be as follows: “30 percent SCT for those whose engine cylinder volume does not exceed 1,600 cm3 and whose SCT base does not exceed 1,350,000TL. 60 percent SCT for those whose engine cylinder volume does not exceed 1,600 cm3 and whose SCT base exceeds 1,350,000TL. 70 percent SCT for those whose engine cylinder volume exceeds 1,600 cm3 but does not exceed 1,800 cm3 and whose SCT base does not exceed 1,350,000TL.” Özpeynirci says that the only model whose SCT will be reduced from 80 percent to 30 percent based on current prices and technical specifications will be the BYD Seal U DM-I.The models whose SCT will be reduced from 80 percent to 60 percent are likely to be the BMW X1 xDrive30e, SKODA Kodiaq 1.5 TSI (204 PS) PHEV and DSG DS-9 E-TENSE 250. There is no model whose SCT will be reduced from 80 percent to 70 percent, and it is thought that the following models may be included in the scope: “AUDI A3 PHEV, MG E-HS PHEV, CHERY PHEV, DS4, DS7 PHEV, HYUNDAI Tucson PHEV, KIA Sportage PHEV, OPEL Astra PHEV, OPEL Grandland PHEV, CITROEN C5 PHEV and VOLKSWAGEN Golf PHEV”Özpeynirci said about the step taken:Arrangement of delivery to the address for BYD to invest.” He comments.

If you missed it, BYD announced last week that it would make a large factory investment in Turkey. Within the scope of the agreement, BYD is expected to establish an electric and plug-in hybrid car production facility with an annual capacity of 150,000 vehicles and an R&D center for sustainable mobility technologies in Turkey with an investment of approximately 1 billion dollars.. The facility, which is planned to start production at the end of 2026, is planned to provide direct employment for up to 5 thousand people.
In the statement made by BYD on this issue, “Thanks to Turkey’s unique advantages such as its developing technology ecosystem, strong supplier base, exceptional location and qualified workforce, BYD’s investment in this new production facility will further develop the brand’s local production capabilities and increase logistics efficiency. We aim to reach consumers in Europe by meeting the increasing demand for new energy vehicles in the region.” expressions were used.
So where will BYD’s first factory in Turkey be? BYD Türkiye General Manager İsmail Ergün, the company’s investment decisions Bloomberg evaluated it for HT. Ergün said the following about the important development: “It will be an investment that will provide employment for over 5,000 people. An investment of around 1 billion dollars is being considered. There is a capacity of 150 thousand; but this capacity should be considered as the initial capacity. This capacity will expand later. The location was determined as Manisa. There will also be a very serious technology transfer to Turkey. BYD is a very fast company, it has a very vertical production system. It produces everything except glass and rubber. From the moment it decides, it can do these very quickly.
Therefore, efforts will be made to bring forward the end of 2026, which is written in the agreement. My belief and BYD Global’s goal is to bring forward the production date a little bit. The models we will order today may arrive in November-December. We are working to have the production in the factory before the last quarter of 2026. The models to be produced in the facility are not clear, they may be both electric and hybrid vehicles. BYD will enter Turkey very strongly. The current balance will change. I can say that BYD investment has paved the way for other brands.”
