Imports and exports of the Turkish automotive industry in 2015
- Turkey produced 1.28 million vehicles in 2015 (+ 6.7% over 2014 and + 42% compared to 2005). Six plants for passenger cars and light trucks are present in Turkey, besides trucks and buses plants . These six plants, located in the east of the country, produce models for nine different brands (Fiat by itself produces for 4 brands).
- Since 2008, Renault, which produces here most of the Clio sold in Europe, is the largest producer in the country, while PSA has just stopped its production in the Fiat plant in May 2016. Fiat, formerly leader, has steadily declined since early 2000.
The most important increase is Hyundai’s. This group has multiplied by seven its production in Turkey between 2005 and 2015.

- Into 1.28 million vehicles produces in Turkey in 2015, 325,000 were sold in Turkey, 156,000 in UK, 154 000 in France, 101,000 in Germany, 99,000 in Italy and the rest in other countries of the world.
- Brexit will affect Turkish production negatively. Inovev has revised its forecast in order to take on-board the Brexit.
Sales in the UK will likely decrease and, as the UK is a big export destination for Turkey, Turkey production had to be lowered from the level of before-Brexit. And no production can be transferred from UK to Turkey as Turkey has not the capacities to absorb such a transfer.
