Türkiye’s light commercial vehicle market goes electric
The automotive industry continues its transformation along the axis of electrification, with growing interest in electric vehicles spreading across all segments.
Urban emissions regulations, companies’ efforts to reduce costs, lower energy expenses and environmental sustainability goals are increasing the appeal of electric vehicles in both individual and commercial use.
The transition to electric mobility, which has gained momentum in passenger cars, is now extending into the light commercial vehicle segment, creating a new wave of transformation in the sector. The rising share of electric vehicles in total new car sales is also becoming visible in the light commercial vehicle market.
In the January–May period of this year, the light commercial vehicle market grew by 1.9 percent, while sales of electric models increased by approximately two and a half times.
