Türkiye’s Automobile Joint Venture Group<br />
(Togg) CEO Mehmet Gürcan Karakaş was<br />
captured on video during a test drive of<br />
the company’s domestically made vehicle<br />
on the North Marmara Highway at night,<br />
Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.<br />
The footage, obtained during the test drive,<br />
showed Karakaş driving the prototype<br />
vehicle, at a speed of about 100 kph (62.14<br />

Seen as the country’s “second automobile<br />
revolution” and revived by President<br />
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Togg was officially<br />
established on June 25, 2018. A former<br />
executive at tech giant Bosch, Karakaş was<br />
appointed Togg’s chief executive officer<br />
on Sept. 1, 2018. Erdoğan, on Dec. 27,<br />
2019, unveiled prototypes for a sport<br />
utility vehicle (SUV) and a sedan, both fully<br />
electric and C-segment models.<br />
A consortium of five major companies,<br />
Togg will produce five different models – an<br />
SUV, sedan, C-hatchback, B-SUV and B-MPV<br />
– through 2030.<br />
