In Türkiye, advancements in material technology and forming methods in the production of specially equipped minibuses and VIP vehicles are ushering in a new era through the use of composite materials, modular cabin structures, and the integration of armored equipment. Composite technologies offer the potential to both reduce vehicle weight and increase structural strength and protection levels.
In recent years, construction machinery production in Türkiye has been undergoing a significant transformation in terms of both digital technologies and compliance with international technical regulations. Electric, hybrid, and sensor-controlled next-generation machines are laying the groundwork for manufacturers to develop safer, more energy-efficient solutions aligned with international norms.
In container, vehicle carrier and similar platform trailers, operations are shifting away from a purely physical transport approach toward a digital model built around telemetry, sensors and remote monitoring. This infrastructure is expected to boost logistics efficiency, strengthen fleet management, enhance safety and accelerate maintenance processes.
ISO 17409:2020, one of the international norms for charging infrastructure safety in the field of electric vehicles, defines conductive charging safety requirements for road vehicles, including electric trucks. This standard provides a technical framework for safe power transfer, insulation, short-circuit protection, and thermal safety measures at the vehicle–charging station interface.
With the transformation toward electric trucks in the heavy commercial segment in Türkiye, the domestic development of traction batteries and standards-compliant production approaches aligned with international regulations are becoming a strategic focus. Supporting lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry battery cells through domestic R&D and production projects strengthens a holistic industrial approach aimed at both supply chain independence and long-life, safe energy storage solutions.
In recent years, electric bus production has been focusing on compliance with technical standards alongside environmental sustainability targets in urban public transportation, battery technology, and safety–functionality requirements in high-voltage propulsion systems. This transformation has made both domestic development programs and alignment with international norms increasingly important.
The Euro 7 standard, the European Union’s latest vehicle emissions regulation, introduces stricter pollution limits that cover not only exhaust emissions but also particulate emissions resulting from brake and tire wear.
As of 2025, grader and dozer production in Türkiye is undergoing a transformation moving toward renewal in terms of engine technologies, safety standards, and environmental compliance. Programs developed for the use of domestic engines and manufacturers’ efforts to comply with updated technical requirements stand out among the key topics supporting a more independent and sustainable production approach in heavy-duty machinery.
As of 2025, loader production in Türkiye is undergoing a forward-looking transformation in terms of both technical standards compliance and the modernization of production infrastructure. Domestic manufacturers continue their efforts with the aim of offering solutions that jointly address safety, environmental requirements, and efficiency criteria through new models developed in the backhoe loader and wheeled loader classes.
In the new period, a transformation is taking place in Türkiye’s construction machinery sector, with excavator production standing out through compliance with technical standards, increased production capacity, and new designs that respond to modern machine requirements.
