Do?u? Otomotiv and Volkswagen have opened a new assessment of possible passenger-car production in Türkiye. The companies signed a letter of intent on October 30, 2026, according to electrive, citing the announcement through Türkiye's capital market platform.

Scope Remains Open

The letter covers options for producing Volkswagen-branded passenger cars in Türkiye. The companies have not disclosed the potential models, investment volume, production capacity or launch timetable.

The announcement therefore marks an evaluation stage rather than a binding manufacturing commitment. For investors, the next material steps would be clarification of the production concept, the location, the required investment and any final decision by the parties.

Potential Industrial Expansion

Electrive reported that discussions could include assembling vehicle kits from existing production sites, but it also stressed that the details remain unsettled. Volkswagen has previously considered Türkiye as a production location, while the current initiative is being assessed with its long-standing local distribution partner.

Do?u? Otomotiv's Business

Do?u? Otomotiv is a Turkish automotive distributor and Volkswagen's long-standing distribution partner in Türkiye. Its business relationship with Volkswagen is the basis for the current assessment of possible local passenger-car production. The company's website lists its headquarters in Çay?rova, Kocaeli.
