Will Skywell Leave Turkey?

⚡We asked distributor Ulu Motor about the rumors that Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Skywell has ended its sales operations in Turkey.

🔋It is known that Skywell’s battery pack production facility will be implemented soon in Turkey. Ulu Motor CEO Mahmut Ulubaş stated that the investment incentive process for Turkey continues in the electric vehicle factory and will be implemented with an investment of billions of dollars.

🟢 These investments are significant for the Turkish automotive industry. Investments were made possible by turning Turkey into one of the largest export markets for Skywell. For this reason, it is stated that the company has not taken a decision to refrain from fulfilling the conditions of establishing 20 services and call centers and withdraw from the market.

🚗 It is said that there are problems at customs and delivery problems caused by dealers. The fact that the relevant authorities do not accept applications regarding the 20-service opening requirements for Chinese electric vehicle companies and the TSE standard required to fulfill this requirement makes things even more difficult.

🔋It seems that the normalization of the process in Chinese electric vehicle imports will take place in the second quarter of 2024.

🟢 On the other hand, it was stated that Ulu Motor is preparing for sales activities in new European markets with Skywell.
