Overview
Overview
The first Turco-Japanese joint venture in the automotive sector. The experience and know-how of Anadolu Isuzu dates back to the Çelik Montaj, which was established in 1965 to build pick-ups and motorcycles. The company continued to produce Škoda pickups until the end of 1986. In 1984, the company started to produce Isuzu vehicles in Istanbul Kartal Plants. In 1999, Anadolu Isuzu has moved to the new Gebze Şekerpınar facilities, in the Çayırova district of Kocaeli. The new facilities were established over a land of 230,000 m 2 where the company employs nearly 750 people. The facilities include two separate plants for truck and bus manufacturing. The midibus manufacturing plant alone covers an area of 21,750 m2 and has a production capacity of 4,000 midibuses per year.
