Turkey’s auto industry to benefit from exports to US in 2015

From the dire situation of 2009, when vehicle production in Turkey collapsed to sub-million unit levels last seen in 2004, the country’s automotive industry recovery has been impressive.

Repeating the production success of 1.235 million units in 2011 will be more challenging, but Turkey’s Automotive Industry Association, OSD, is positive the country's automotive industry will maintain growth, reaching output levels of around 1.15 million units for the 2014 calendar year. The country has installed capacity of around 1.5 million units.
