"Our battery technology is presently employed in tram and metro vehicles owned by Kayseri Transportation, SAMULA (Samsun Transportation Inc.), Adana Metro, and Istanbul Metro A," Kaan continued. Our business also designed the battery system for the E5000, which is our country's first national electric locomotive project, and it was completed and delivered.

In addition, the design phases for the Gayrettepe-Istanbul Airport, ASELSAN Projects, Bozankaya Gebze-Darca subway, and Gaziantep-Gaziray Suburban projects have been completed.

We can state that our foreign dependency in a vital and critical technology in the rail system sector has come to an end thanks to our battery systems that comply with international standards and meet all of the parameters and requirements set out by global vehicle manufacturers. In this scenario, domestic rail system battery production will contribute value to our economy by lowering our current account deficit and creating new job opportunities.” he added.
