We got data on how many cars were sold in Turkey each month. In addition, we occasionally saw information on vehicles purchased by official institutions. Autojournalist Emre Özpeynircihas provided us with new data on this subject.

Özpeynirci’s post was sent to the General Command of the Gendarmerie and the General Directorate of Security. SUVs purchased and delivered new in the past 3 months shared. Accordingly two organizations A total of 7 thousand 204 SUVs delivered.

Only 271 of these are domestic, the rest are imported.

According to the post, the majority of these vehicles are Nissan brand vehicles with 1500 units It creates. Other than that 668 Hyundais, 600 Skodas And 600 Dacia units there is. The number of toggs is 271 listed as. No information is available about other models, but the information does not include brands such as Fiat, Renault, Toyota, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Opel, Chery and Kia.

Özpeynirci, the cars received by the organizations Only 271 of them are local transferred. This is the only vehicle produced in Turkey and purchased by the gendarmerie and police. Togg T10X Only It means that it is so. All the other 7,000 models are imported.

So what is the reason for this? The reason behind the low purchase of domestic cars is SCT and VAT practices. For imported vehicles, no special consumption tax and VAT are paid on public purchases. There is a tax on domestically produced vehicles. In other words, the number of imports is higher due to the absence of taxes. If this practice is not extended, it will change in November. If this changes, we may see an increase in the number of domestic vehicles in the fleet of organizations.

This data came after the announcement of the amount of SCT collected by the state in August and 2024. The data showed that SCT collection in August decreased compared to the previous year and that 20,000 vehicles may have been purchased without SCT. One of the reasons for this was the government tender.
