'Turkey's Automobile Joint Venture Group'), is a Turkish automotive manufacturer of electric cars headquartered in Şişli, Istanbul, Turkey.
An assembly plant was opened in 2022 in Gemlik, Bursa province, next to Togg’s subsidiary Siro which produces the lithium-ion batteries.
[citation needed] Togg is the first major national manufacturer of electric cars in Turkey, supported by the Turkish government.
[2][3] The companies and organizations that decided to work together to produce electric vehicles in Turkey were announced by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in November 2017.
The CEO of the company, Gürcan Karakaş, announced that the design of the SUV and sedan models will be completed in 2019, and they will go on sale in 2022.
Togg launches mass production of its all-electric SUV in October 2022,[17] with a choice of two-wheel drive (RWD) and a 160 kW (218 hp) motor placed on the rear axle or all-wheel drive (AWD) with a second additional engine positioned at the front[18] for a total of 320 kW (430 hp) and 700 N m of torque.
[20] Inside, the T10X offers an ultra-modern ambiance with 12-inch digital instrumentation and a central touch screen resting on a 29-inch panel that covers the entire width of the dashboard.
On the prototype model, then called C-SUV, two small screens were placed at the ends to transmit images from the camera mirrors.
[22] Annual production of 175,000 electric vehicles is planned,[23] but that may not be enough to avoid the risk to the economy of Turkey of increasing oil imports until 2040.
[28] In June 2021, Togg filed a complaint in order to obtain the domain name “togg.com”, which was previously purchased by someone else, and brought the issue to the World Intellectual Property Organization.
[29] Togg, in their complaint, stated that the company was founded in 2018 to produce cars and the plaintiff does not have a factory yet but it unveiled plans for two electric vehicles in December 2019.
