Development of the automotive industry in the world, we see that processes such as smart technologies, electric vehicles, mobility, artificial intelligence and digital transformation are decisive factors in the development of the industry.
The Turkish automotive sector has been providing our country and global economy with very serious added value as the locomotive of our country’s exports for many years. When we consider the Turkish automotive industry as a whole, we see that the industry has a very serious economic strength at the level of 30 billion dollars. This power, which the sector has, continues to increase rapidly. In addition, when we look at the development of the automotive industry in the world, we see that processes such as smart technologies, electric vehicles, mobility, artificial intelligence and digital transformation are decisive factors in the development of the industry. As might be expected with the global economic crisis and especially the political tensions in our immediate geography, the fluctuations in the Euro / Dollar parity are directly affecting the automotive industry as well as every sector. On the other hand, while competition in today’s world makes itself felt intensely in almost every arena, we can see that firms that cannot adapt to technological progress are falling behind within the competition. For this reason, it is necessary for the firms to adapt to what we call “technology age” in the best way. As a matter of fact, there is a constant change in customer / market expectations in a competitive environment. In order to be successful in the global arena, it is very important to know the conditions of the current competitive environment and develop appropriate strategies accordingly. At this point, prioritizing new technologies on the basis of R&D and innovation and focusing on branding efforts should be among the priorities of the industry. As industrialists, we have important responsibilities for the further development of our industry which has a key role in catching up with the strong future goals of our country. In fact, as sector representatives, we should continue to shoulder responsibility and to lead the development of our country by investing in knowledge and technology. Actually I think that the market share of our sector will increase even more in the coming years. The Turkish automotive industry has more than enough potential to make a difference in the global arena with its production experience and R&D power... We, as Aktaş Holding, continue to work on the basis of sustainable growth-oriented development strategies that we have established since the day we were founded, and always to advance the level of added value created by our country and world scale. We are investing in information and technology in this regard. While accelerating digital transformation efforts, especially in recent years, we are also working on improving our existing infrastructure in line with the requirements of Industry 4.0. We have recently started field analysis work on Industry 4.0 and are taking decisive steps in this regard. To sum up, as Aktas Holding we will continue to focus on creating value for the development of our industry. At this point, we will continue our efforts in the direction of continuous improvement culture and perfectionist understanding, and we will endeavor to provide contribution to our country’s future goals without any doubt.
