About TEMSA

TEMSA, operating under the joint partnership of Sabancı Holding and PPF Group, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of buses, midibuses, and light trucks, continuing its operations with a clear vision focused on the electrification of mobility.

Since 1968, TEMSA has been one of the leading manufacturers shaping the future of commercial vehicle production. At its 510,000-square-meter facility in Adana, the company operates with over 1,800 employees and has the single-shift annual production capacity to manufacture 2,000 buses, 2,000 midibuses, and 6,000 light trucks — totaling 10,000 vehicles.

TEMSA has manufactured over 140,000 vehicles and exported more than 18,000 units to 70 countries around the world. Its export markets include major European countries such as France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Austria, Sweden, Belgium, Spain, and Lithuania, as well as the United States, Canada, and several Turkic republics.

With a dealer and service network spanning 23 countries across four continents, the company delivers both sales and after-sales services. TEMSA is the only Turkish manufacturer active in the U.S. coach market and the first company in Türkiye to establish a certified R&D center.

TEMSA designs, develops, and engineers vehicles tailored to diverse mobility needs — from the Maraton and Safir for intercity and tourism transport, to the Avenue and Prestij for urban and short-distance routes. For the U.S. market, the portfolio includes TS35, TS30, and TS45, while the MD9, Avenue, and LDSB models are offered across Europe.

In collaboration with ASELSAN, TEMSA launched Türkiye’s first domestically produced electric bus. In 2022, it marked a European milestone by introducing the continent’s first electric intercity coach. In addition to a portfolio of over ten zero-emission models, TEMSA also designs and assembles battery packs for its electric vehicles at its Adana facility.

With the Prestij model—first introduced in 1992 and relaunched with a new design in 2025—TEMSA has played a pioneering role in the development of short-distance transportation in Türkiye. Leveraging its expertise in battery technologies, the company has expanded into new sectors such as marine and agriculture. Aligned with its vision of electrified mobility, TEMSA has also developed innovative products in the electric light commercial vehicle category, including the e-Canter and eQuad. Today, it is the only battery pack manufacturer in Türkiye certified by Türk Loydu, a member of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), for maritime applications.

Through its circular business model practices, TEMSA aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. As a result of its sustainability-driven efforts, the company was included in CDP’s Climate Change and Supply Chain A List in its very first year of reporting.
