IT WILL INCREASE ITS SERVICE CAPACITY

Approximately 20 percent of our annual transportation of more than 80 thousand consists of automotive transportation. The regions we carry out the most transportation to are Germany, France, Italy and Romania. We are already working with global players of the automotive industry in Türkiye and around the world. We constantly update our plans to increase our service capacity in automotive logistics not only in Turkey but also in our transportation between European countries.

THE MARKET HAS HIGH GROWTH POTENTIAL
What would you like to say about the future of automotive logistics?
Despite some of the challenges of transformation, we see high growth potential in automotive logistics. We think that our logistics companies can adapt to this change by adopting new technologies. Our companies are increasing investments such as charging stations and autonomous vehicle infrastructure, digital infrastructure and green transformation. Training personnel to quickly adapt to new technologies and making the logistics sector attractive for young people are among the problems that the sector must solve. For logistics companies that can keep up with change, significant growth opportunities will emerge not only in Turkiye, but also in our immediate surroundings and in Europe.
