Turkey’s Automobile Enterprise Group (TOGG) CEO Gürcan Karakaş made new statements at the TOGG stand at TEKNOFEST.
Karakaş said, “In line with our plans, we think that we will not be caught in the chip crisis with the reservations we make. There will be a more important crisis than the chip crisis; battery crisis. No cells. Since we will solve this problem by planning from the beginning, we will not get stuck in the battery cell crisis. He stated that they predicted that the chip crisis will continue for another year.
The battery crisis will be a much bigger nuisance than the chip crisis:
Making a statement during the press conference held at the TOGG stand established at TEKNOFEST with the participation of Industry and Technology Minister Mustafa Varank, Karakaş stated that TOGG, as a technology company, took part in Turkey’s technology festival and said, “Here, new generation technologies are applied, it is more than an automobile. We brought it to the attention of our citizens by exhibiting our smart device, which we call our smart device. ‘ he added.
Underlining that companies that do not have battery technologies and power electronics in the future are companies that cannot have technology, Karakaş said, “We are at the point we planned. It is seen that our facility has been completed step by step so that you can watch live broadcast on TOGG TV 24 hours a day. In line with the plans, we are working so that mass production will be ready by the end of 2022. We are aware of the responsibility. Excitement and energy give us a great energy day and night, even if we are sleepless. ” said.
Regarding the chip crisis, Karakaş said, “Our first vehicle is an SUV in the C segment. There may be minor differences due to regulations, but these are not changes that will change the quality of the design. There is a chip crisis. We also know the causes of the chip crisis. We anticipate that this crisis will continue for another year. In line with our plans, we think that we will not be caught in the chip crisis with the reservations we make. There will be a more important crisis than the chip crisis; battery crisis. No cells. While everyone around the world is rushing to produce more electric vehicles, the capacities of cell manufacturers around the world are reserved until 2030 and beyond. Since we will solve this problem by planning from the beginning, we will not get stuck in the battery cell crisis. “ he declared.
