TURKA, which has undertaken the new era of vehicle inspection services in Turkey, which will start as of August 15, 2027, has started negotiations to take over all of the existing TÜVTÜRK operations while continuing its new investments to create its station network. Providing information about the goodwill agreement, TURKA Chairman of the Board of Directors, Halis Ezer, said:

"We have made rapid progress in the process that started with winning the tender in 2025. We determined the needs and improvement areas of the vehicle inspection system with our internationally competent business partners and started working on our infrastructure investments. We introduced our new generation vehicle inspection approach in our exemplary center in Istanbul. Now, we have taken a new step by mutual consent to conduct negotiations for the takeover of all TÜVTÜRK operations. The goodwill agreement we signed forms the framework of these negotiations," he said.

Giving information about the transformation of the stations planned to be taken over, Halis Ezer said, "According to the results of the negotiations, if we take over the stations, we will transform them to TURKA standards as a part of our program. We will renew the physical conditions, develop inspection equipment and digital systems, and create the infrastructure required by our high-technology-based service model. We will offer the new generation inspection service that we promised to vehicle owners, with the same standards in all centers that will be included in the TURKA network."

Ezer continued his words as follows: "We create our station network by taking into account the needs of each region. Our priority is to create a vehicle inspection network equipped with high technology, with sufficient capacity and based on service quality."
