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 Türkiye, ensuring that concrete mix quality complies with standards not only at the batching plant but also on site is becoming increasingly important in truck-mounted mixers used for concrete production and delivery. Sensor-based measurement and automatic mixing control systems contribute to managing concrete consistency and composition in a more traceable and controllable manner, both at plant dispatch and throughout the delivery process.

Electric street sweeping vehicles are drawing attention in urban cleaning and environmental management with advantages such as quiet operation, low operating costs and zero emissions. Becoming increasingly widespread in Türkiye and globally, these vehicles improve the efficiency of cleaning operations particularly in narrow streets, pedestrian areas and densely populated urban zones.

Compact waste collection vehicles developed for narrow streets and densely populated areas offer maneuverability, operational flexibility and efficiency advantages in urban waste management. In Türkiye, vehicles in this class are produced — with smaller-volume superstructures and optimized hydraulic/electric systems — to provide ease of use in waste collection processes.

In Türkiye and internationally, the use of electric hydraulic power units (e-HPU) and electrically controlled hydraulic/electric systems in hydraulic platform systems used on rescue and firefighting vehicles is drawing attention in terms of operational efficiency, low noise levels and reduced environmental impact. These technologies enable rescue, firefighting and emergency response equipment — particularly booms, platforms or equipment for working at height — to operate in a more controlled, safe and environmentally responsible manner.

In the design of liquid transfer equipment, digital measurement infrastructure and automation solutions are being increasingly implemented by manufacturers in Türkiye. Smart flowmeters, valve control systems and remote data logging solutions are contributing to improvements in precision, safety and traceability of transfer processes, particularly in petrochemical, fuel, chemical and food sector applications.

In tanker production for food transportation, a design approach focused on hygiene and cleaning is becoming increasingly important. Food tankers developed by manufacturers in Türkiye aim to achieve compliance with international hygiene standards through CIP (cleaning-in-place) infrastructure and the use of materials suitable for contact with food.

Electric ambulances are emerging as a key technology area supporting the use of low-emission vehicles in emergency healthcare services. Ambulance superstructures developed in Türkiye are being shaped in conjunction with electric propulsion systems, taking into account international requirements defined for road ambulances in terms of both safety and technical design.

In concrete pump manufacturing, advanced technologies such as digital pressure monitoring and automatic lubrication systems are improving the safety, efficiency and maintenance management of pump equipment in the field. Developed by companies in Türkiye and internationally, these solutions reduce failure risks in pump operations and help ensure operational continuity.

In Türkiye and global construction equipment manufacturing, the use of pump booms made from carbon composite materials is standing out in concrete pumps due to their potential for both weight reduction and efficiency gains. These booms aim to deliver advantages in fuel consumption and operating costs by reducing the weight of the load-bearing mechanical structure.
