As a result, Ford Otosan has become the first major automaker to mass-produce pure electric vehicles in Turkey. The E-Transit model will be sold in Europe and produced at the company’s plant in the northwestern Turkish city of Kocaeli.
Furthermore, the factory will also build a battery production line that will produce at least 130,000 batteries a year. Ford officials also stated that more than 5,000 orders have been received for the above-mentioned pure electric models.
