Bozankaya’s Ankara facility has been expanded with a new 100,000m2 production centre in the Sincan 1st Organized Industrial Zone on the outskirts of Turkey capital. EUR 50 million was invested to develop the plant for the production of trams and metro trainsets as well as electric commercial vehicles such as the trambus and e-bus. The Turkish manufacturer has completed three development phases increasing the number of production lines from two to eleven and it has constructed the biggest railway vehicle paint shop. The company will continue to invest for Ankara plant development to improve its production process by implementing new technology.
