by the Logistics TransportIn the Category: Logistics

The Communiqué on the Amendment to the Communiqué on the Importation of Certain Electric Vehicles prepared by the Ministry of Trade was published in the Official Gazette in the previous days.

In his statement on the subject, OSD President Cengiz Eroldu reminded that with the Communiqué on the Importation of Certain Electric Vehicles, which was published in the Official Gazette on 31 December 2023 and entered into force on 1 January 2024, the obligation to obtain a ⁇ Permission Certificate ⁇ for electric cars imported from countries that do not have a Free Trade Agreement between the European Union (EU) and Turkey was introduced.

Referring to the requirements for the permit, Eroldu stated that in order for the permit certificate to be issued, it was necessary to certify that at least 20 authorized service stations in 7 geographical regions were established by the importer himself, that the persons responsible for electric vehicle maintenance and repair should have a certificate of competence, and that the importer company should establish a call center with at least 40 personnel in Turkey.

Eroldu stated that the vehicle group, which has been included in the scope with the new communiqué, has been expanded and pointed out that the regulation, which previously covered only electric cars, includes hybrid cars that can be charged externally, as well as commercial vehicles for carrying electric and externally rechargeable hybrid goods.

Stating that they have observed that many measures have been taken around the world, especially in recent years, in order to protect the competitiveness of countries and to allocate the security of local consumers, Eroldu said:

⁇ We evaluate the communiqué, which was published by our Ministry of Commerce and entered into force on January 1, 2024 and expanded in scope, positively in terms of protecting our country's consumers, ensuring service quality, observing the competitiveness of the automotive industry and our economy. Today, the share of domestic vehicles in the automobile market, which has reached 40 ⁇ in the past, has decreased to 25 ⁇ , this regulation will also have a positive effect in terms of protecting / developing the share of domestic vehicles in the automobile market. ⁇

Eroldu reported that Turkey is among the important players in the production of commercial vehicles worldwide.

Reminding that Turkey declined from first to second place among the European Union countries this year and took 9th place in the world, Eroldu shared the following information:

⁇ The share of commercial vehicles in our volume exports is 35 percent, and the share of domestic vehicles in the commercial vehicle market is about 40 percent. It is an important fact that the deterioration in the automotive foreign trade balance caused by the automobile group in the recent period is supported by the positive effect of our commercial vehicle production. For all these reasons, we consider it important for the economy of our country that commercial vehicles for transporting goods have been added to the scope of the communiqué published by our Ministry of Trade. In addition, we find it important to evaluate the inclusion of commercial vehicles for passenger transportation in the scope of the regulation in the coming period, as well as commercial vehicles for transportation of goods. ⁇

ANKARA (İGFA) ⁇ Violated toll registration occurs in the toll collection system when the toll cannot be collected in cases such as the absence of the HGS (Fast Toll System) label on vehicles on toll highways or insufficient balance.

Motorway operator companies have an obligation to inform the owners of vehicles that have violated these crossings.

While traditional methods used for the obligation to provide information lead to cost and time loss, they negatively affect the environment due to the use of paper and logistical needs.

Information provided to vehicle owners by operating companies is carried out digitally by REM (Registered Electronic Mail) instead of traditional methods; costs such as paper, printing, toner, cargo, mail and labor are saved by 96 percent.

Within the scope of the project, which was implemented with an innovative and environmentally friendly approach, the REM addresses of the vehicle owners can be determined through the Central REM Guide and the violation transition notifications can be transmitted to the addressee within minutes. The REM is; In addition to cost, time and labor savings, it also provides a safe and legal communication opportunity. This system eliminates paper and logistical needs, preventing trees from being cut down and reducing the carbon footprint. Thus, KEP offers an environmentally friendly approach to its users.

As TÜRKKEP, we have signed a very important cooperation with Otoyol A.Ş. Thanks to this cooperation, information about the violating passages carried out by individual and commercial vehicles on the Istanbul-İzmir Highway, which includes the Osmangazi Bridge under the responsibility of Otoyol A.Ş., is now transmitted to their interlocutors through the REM system. The Central REM Guide application implemented by BTK ⁇ (Information Technologies and Communication Authority) enabled this and many similar projects to be realized. As in Otoyol A.Ş., companies and institutions that use REM service can easily query the REM address of the other party through the Central REM Guide integrated into TÜRKKEP systems and send messages within minutes.
