CNC cutting machines are widely used, Turkey's automobile manufacturing industry has improved significantly

At the 6th Steel Orbis Global Steel Consultancy Turkish Steel Market Conference in Istanbul on November 18, Ercan Tezer, Secretary General of the Turkish Automobile Manufacturers Association, said that due to the strong sales of commercial vehicles, the Turkish auto industry has only taken a year to develop. Successfully overcame the negative impact of the 2008 global financial crisis. It also shows that Turkish investors are confident in its prospects. Turkey's car production in 2011 also exceeded pre-crisis levels. However, as Tezer said, Turkish car exports are below pre-financial crisis levels due to a sharp drop in European car demand. In addition, Turkish automakers are turning to new export markets, such as North America. For the modest growth in demand for automobiles in 2012, Tezer explained that the rapid growth in general demand is mainly due to the pull of latent demand rather than new demand. Moderate growth in demand is therefore healthier than rapid growth. Tezer criticized the existing tax mechanism of the Turkish auto industry, emphasizing the importance of reforming the existing mechanism to be more transparent, traditional and fair.
