Founded in 1966, Otosan Otomobil Sanayii manufactured Turkey's fird domestic mass-production passenger vehicle, the Anadol (the honours for manufacturing the very first Turkish vehicle falling to Devrim). In all there were seven models manufactured between 1966 and 1991, the A1 (1966-1975), A2 (1970-1981), STC-16 (1973-1975), SV-1600 (1973-1982), Böcek (1975-1977), A8-16 (1981-1984) and Otosan 500 Pick-Up (1971-1991).
Production of passenger vehicles came to a halt in 1986, while the Otosan 500 Pick-Up remained in manufacture until the end. Today the company is concerned with building Ford passenger and commercial vehicles which are exported to numerous countries throughout the world, particularly to the European Union member states. |
