The uninterrupted market and export leader for 17 years, TürkTraktör has recently surpassed important production milestones, including the 1,111,111th tractor and the 600,000th engine. 2023 was a record-breaking year for us, as we alone accounted for 56 percent of tractor production and 79 percent of exports. We introduced our domestic electric tractor, which we are extremely proud of, to our farmers in our 70th year. I would like to express my gratitude to the esteemed members of the TürkTraktör family, who have played a pivotal role in the achievements of TürkTraktör during its 70-year adventure. We will continue to work with even more dedication, resilience and confidence in line with our goal of 'Prepares for the Future'."
