We build more than factory. We are building the cleanest facility in Europe. So we're already starting with zero emissions. He pointed to an area adjacent to the factory: there was an airstrip. We are turning that area into an automobile test track.”

Karakaş also stated that after the crash tests of TOGG models, they examined the vehicles. The CEO said, “We are looking at which parts are affected by the collision and how. It will be a smart tool. You will feel that you are angry, tense, and the music that will calm you down will come into play.” said.

Stating that cyber collisions are possible thanks to mobility, Gürcan Karakaş stated that they are working on scenarios of how the vehicle will be affected in case of a cyber attack.
