Why hold automotive conference in Turkey?

The automotive industry in Turkey is booming. The orders are very strong and the production levels are at pre crisis levels. Everyone in the industry is very hopeful for the future. Therefore, they don't have concerns for contracting market, diminishing demands, etc. Of course cost is an ever important issue, but not the primary concern at the moment.

The real issue here is the changing technology and environment. Green cars (electric cars) are being talked about more than ever. All major car producers are introducing electric cars to the market. Fuel cell technology is developing very fast.

Even though the whole industry will not turn to electric cars over night, the new technology will inevitably put its pressure over the industry. The change has already started. It is only a matter of time before the new technology will predominantly change the profile of the industry. When the engine hood of an electric car is lifted, the suppliers must see what is in there and what is not.

Most of the present part suppliers will no longer be producing for the new technology vehicles. Therefore, they will be facing a downturn. In order to prevent a contracting market they must prepare themselves to the new era and think about making additional investments from today.

Furthermore, for the current internal combustion engine technology vehicles, fuel efficiency is still a major concern. Manufacturers are competing to provide less fuel consuming, lighter but yet stronger vehicles to the market. Therefore, in addition to the new generation steel products, more and more parts are being produced out of plastics instead of steel. Turkish and most European suppliers do not know which parts are to be converted to plastics.

In addition to this very important issue, the industry's 2023 targets present and extra ordinary opportunity for growth and investments in Turkey. Rising the production from 1,2 million vehicles to 4 million will attract many parts suppliers, investors, financing institutions to Turkey.
