Automotive manufacturing company Temsa, a joint company of Turkish conglomerate Sabancı Holding and the Netherlands-based PPF Group, exported electric buses to Belgium. Following its first electric bus export to Sweden, TEMSA, a Sabancı Holding – PPF Group subsidiary, delivered its first shipment of LD 12 SB PLUS model buses to Belgium, the center of the European Union. TEMSA CEO Tolga Kaan Doğancıoğlu said, “TEMSA is ramping up to play a more significant role not only in Turkish market, but in the global arena. Our LD 12 SB PLUS exports to Belgium is a key indicator that will create new opportunities in the Benelux market and will raise brand awareness!”
As part of the first delivery, four buses were exported to Belgium, while in April, an additional 22 buses will be exported and the total exports will reach 40 units in 2021.
