Togg users in Germany met in Stuttgart

Expat citizens who use domestic cars on German roads held an important meeting in Stuttgart, the heart of the automotive industry, in order to reinforce the brand's power in the European market and establish a solidarity network among users.

The event, which started with a joint breakfast program held at the Backerei Metropole in Stuttgart-Feuerbach, turned into a visual feast.

The vehicles were lined up side by side in the parking lot reserved specifically for Togg drivers by the organization. The participants finished their breakfast under the curious gaze of surrounding German citizens and foreign car lovers.

Later, the Togg convoy of 45 vehicles, moving from Feuerbach, proceeded in a single line through the streets of Stuttgart. This convoy, formed by drivers following the same navigation route, reached the Togg Europe GmbH headquarters in Fasanenhof.

Users gathered in front of Togg Europe and chatted with Togg Europe officials.

National technology and solidarity messages from participants

Sharing their domestic car experiences in the event area, Togg owners conveyed their belief in the brand and user experiences in Europe in their statements to the AA reporter.

Stating that although it has only been a month since he received his vehicle, he has already covered 7-8 thousand kilometers, Deniz Baydur emphasized the importance of protecting national technology.

Driving school owner Emre Çiçek, who attended the event by traveling 500 kilometers from the city of Lünen with his family, stated that he sees protecting Togg as a historical relay race and said, "Our first vehicle in our new driving school branch will be Togg T10F. We set out with the intention of offering this service to our citizens in Germany. It is a duty for us to protect this brand and promote it here. Our ancestors laid this foundation, and our duty is to carry this flag further." he said.

The goal is to be Germany's largest automobile enthusiasts' association.

Describing the day of the event in Stuttgart as "the second happiest day of my life", Bilgehan Çalışkan, one of the founding admins of the community, stated that the WhatsApp group, which they founded with 4 people, turned into a family of 160 people in a short time, and shared the digital vision of the community for the future:

"Currently, it has become impossible to keep up with the intense flow of information in the WhatsApp group. That's why we are taking our project one step further. We will establish a special online forum for Togg, just like the personal platforms established by Tesla users in Germany. On this platform, we will collect updates, software innovations and meeting calendars in a regular structure."

Habib Aydın, another founding partner of the community, who announced that he traveled 40 thousand kilometers with his personal Togg vehicle in a short period of 8-9 months, shared the experiences of Turkish citizens who traveled from Europe to Türkiye by car and those who completed their journey with an electric vehicle without any problems.

Emphasizing the power of the remote technical support network, Aydın said, "Our goal is to be the largest automobile association in Germany. When there is a software or technical problem, engineers in Turkey connect instantly and solve the problems with remote diagnosis. We said we loved the rose and would bear its thorns, but we are very pleased with the service and support. I was saying 'I would never drive an electric car' until Togg came out." he said.

Businessman Lokman Aksakal said, "We want to proudly see our own produced car in front of our company. My advice to all Turkish business people and company owners in Germany is that there should be a Togg in front of every company and this national pride should be displayed in Europe. We are taking the first step by lighting this torch in Filderstadt." made his assessment.

Institutionalization steps and future goals

In the meetings held within the scope of the event, some decisions were taken that will shape the future of the community.

Aiming for the continuity of the meetings, the community management announced that they decided to establish an official association in order to facilitate the legal and bureaucratic processes of mass events held throughout Germany.

When the bureaucratic procedures are completed, the formation will be named "Togg Deutschland Community e.V." It was reported that it will become official with its name.

The management, which plans to organize professional meetings 3 or 4 times a year, announced that a special survey link will be shared so that members can submit their recommendations and feedback.

The Togg Germany Community, which is growing rapidly throughout Germany, aims to organize new meetings with wide participation in other major cities, especially Frankfurt, in the coming months and to guide all Togg users in Europe through the online forum site to be established.
