While the automotive sector continues to play a central role in the global economy, technological developments are constantly reshaping the industry. The supply industry, which powers vehicle manufacturing, is today at the crossroads of technological innovation and environmental regulations. 
 
During this period of change, the automotive industry is evolving more broadly into the mobility sector. New generation, eco-friendly vehicles and services that enable the transportation of people and goods are merging with new business models.
 
As sustainability, digital transformation, and smart manufacturing reshape the automotive ecosystem, global trends in the industry present many opportunities for Turkish suppliers and our country. At this point, Turkish suppliers have the capability to produce 80% of a vehicle.
 
The ability to quickly adapt is a key skill for preparing the Turkish automotive and supply industry for the future. In recent years, the Turkish supply industry has positioned itself as a solution provider for its customers. As the shortening and increasing flexibility of the global supply chain become top priorities, the Turkish supply industry is becoming more preferred. Today, our supply industry exports to 190 countries, continuously increasing its share of exports. While playing a key role in the economy, it creates employment opportunities and encourages technological advancements.
 
Suppliers' Commitment to a Sustainable Future
In a time when climate crisis and consumer demands are becoming more prominent, stricter regulations targeting internal combustion vehicles are bringing about a new transformation. Suppliers are aware of their responsibility in decarbonizing transportation, vehicles, and production.
 
Our country's domestic electric vehicle, TOGG, and the electric eco-friendly vehicles produced by our main industries have accelerated our shift towards new technologies. As a nation, we are focusing on the production of eco-friendly vehicles and aim to make this a more permanent situation.
 
Recently, an exciting development occurred for our country. BYD, one of the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturers, officially announced its decision to invest in Türkiye. This investment will positively impact the production and technologies of alternative fuel vehicles in Türkiye.
 
Suppliers Have the Ability to Overcome Critical Challenges
In the transformation the sector is undergoing, Turkish suppliers, who believe in the importance of mutual cooperation, aim to create a healthy environment for the development of the automotive industry. In this era where decarbonization is becoming increasingly important and electrification is an inevitable reality, they are working to find cleaner, better, more sustainable, and more eco-friendly solutions.
 
As we navigate through innovations and transformations, preparing the intelligent and eco-friendly automotive supply industry for a sustainable future is one of TAYSAD's significant duties. TAYSAD is a value created by the dedicated efforts of Turkish suppliers working together.The collective effort built within TAYSAD supports us in overcoming upcoming challenges. Our working groups, conferences, training sessions, and publications are aimed at finding ways to enhance the competitiveness of our suppliers. By sharing our experiences, we grow together.
 
As an association, we represent our over 530 members on every platform. We strive to accelerate our members' adaptation to change and their belief in it. The pre-competitive collaboration culture is at the heart of our association’s success.
 
Our culture of solidarity provides us with hope for a sustainable future.
