- Tofas is a Turkish automaker headquartered in Istanbul and whose production site is located in Bursa. From a joint venture between the Turkish group Koç and the Italian group Fiat, it has built several Fiat range models under license since January 1971.

- Tofas has announced plans to export the light utility vehicle  Doblo to North America (from late 2014), where it would be marketed by Chrysler under the brand Ram (20 000 units per year are planned).

- Tofas has also indicated that it is working on two new cars for the Turkish market but also for export: a compact sedan and a hatchback model which would be marketed from 2015. Vehicles based on Fiat Linea would replace the current Lineas which are manufactured on the site of Bursa and  whose origins date back to 2006.

- Tofas seeks new opportunities to offset weak European markets. It expects to sell 270,000 vehicles in 2013, including 110,000 vehicles for the local market and 160,000 vehicles  for export.

- Tofas thinks that the Turkish market will be stable in 2013 compared to 2012, at about 750,000 units. Its market share is expected to be between 13 and 15%. This partner of Fiat which manufactures Doblos,  Fiorinos and Lineas (and derived models for Peugeot, Citroën and Opel) is one of the three largest manufacturers located in Turkey, by the side of Ford and Renault.
