Togg prototypes
The prototypes of the Togg range will all undergo testing on the track and areas will be designed in accordance with the different driving requirements such as: a rugged road track, a high speed track, as well as an area where special manoeuvres can be performed.
Track and Product development
The track was constructed in three months, and this will be where all the product development and quality controls will take place.
Meanwhile, at the Gemlik factory work is continuing and the entire area measuring 1.2 million square metres is due to be finished in May. 86% of the main facility is now complete and there are 185 robots that have begun partless rehearsals. 92% of the paint facility used for painting tanks and housing the ovens are now complete, and the assembly facility is just 16% off being complete.
