Decarbonising roads, which account for around a fifth of global emissions, is critical to the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Elaris Business Development Manager Ramazan Akyol announced that a decrease of up to 40 percent is expected in the number of electric vehicles, which is increasing in Türkiye's fossil fuel consumption.
The transportation sector accounts for 24 percent of energy sector emissions. Passenger and light commercial vehicles are responsible for approximately 15 percent of greenhouse emissions. However, electronic vehicles play a key role in decarbonizing the road. Because electric vehicles produce 70 percent less carbon emissions than conventional vehicles. According to ICCT (International Council on Clean Transportation) systems, the carbon footprint of electric vehicles charged with electricity is 81 percent lower than that of internal combustion engine vehicles.
Elaris Business Development Manager Ramazan Akyol made statements highlighting the importance of the transition process to a low-carbon economy through zero-exhaust emission electric vehicles and their contribution to Türkiye’s energy independence:
The number of electric vehicles increased by 120 percent compared to the same specifications last year
“The demand for electric vehicles in the world is increasing rapidly. The Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) announced that the number of electric vehicles in traffic reached 2025 in March 218, increasing by approximately 238 percent compared to the same figure last year. With the increasing number of electric vehicles, a decrease of up to 120 percent is expected in Türkiye's fossil fuel consumption.
Reducing the country's energy imports
“Electric vehicles that reduce fossil fuel consumption not only offer growth and economic benefits, but also minimize the country’s fossil fuel expenditures and energy imports. This situation makes a significant contribution to Türkiye’s energy independence. As Üçay Engineering, we are proud to be a part of green games in our AC and DC electric vehicle charging stations that are widespread throughout the country,” he said.
In his speech, Ramazan Akyol also touched upon solutions to increase efficiency in charging stations:
“Smart charging systems and energy storage solutions at charging stations play an important role in the efficient use of energy and balancing the load on the grid. Excess demand periods are completed by using stored energy, providing extra, high savings when needed.”
