Journalists reportedly funded by the opposition and politicians within opposition parties frequently use the statement, "TOGG is being brought from Italy on ships." Sabah.com.tr visited TOGG's state-of-the-art factory in Bursa Gemlik, witnessing how TOGG vehicles are actually produced. Our team's firsthand experience at the production site exposed the falsehood of opposition claims.
The deliveries of Türkiye's electric domestic car brand TOGG have gained speed. TOGG vehicles are being delivered to citizens who have earned the right to purchase them. With the recent increase in deliveries, the number of TOGG vehicles on the roads has also risen. For a long time, phrases like "fantasy" and "election campaign promise" were used regarding Türkiye's domestic car brand.
Despite the smear campaigns by the opposition, the production phase of TOGG was completed. Subsequently, applications were received from citizens, and deliveries began. After initially dismissing it as a "fantasy" or "election campaign promise," some individuals started claiming that "it is not produced in Türkiye; it is brought from Italy on ships." These claims became more intense and turned into a smear campaign.
Following these claims made by journalists close to the opposition and on social media accounts, our team visited TOGG facilities. At the state-of-the-art TOGG factory in Gemlik, Bursa, every step of how the domestic car is produced was recorded second by second by the sabah.com.tr team. The visuals effectively debunked the opposition's claims.
