OSD President Haydar Yenigün stated that no one has been fired in the auto industry, where production has come to a complete halt and that this will not happen with government support: “We should not disturb the family because each of them he is very valuable and well educated. ” I can say that everyone has guaranteed work. “
The president of the Automotive Industry Association (OSD), Haydar Yenigün, evaluated the production and export results for March and the effects of the pandemic situation on the economy, which is the locomotive of the economy, through a conference release held last week.

For now, this is not a problem. Because the most important thing right now is not to spoil the working family in the automotive industry. Those who work in this sector are very valuable and well-educated people. “
WE WOULD NOT REMOVE IN 2008
Yenigün declared that they are not a sector that says: “I am no longer working with you, I cannot pay your salary now, we will deal with 3 months.” Many companies in the 2008-2009 crisis; He recalled that he hired his employees with state support and his own support.
Yenigün said: “These are very important things. The most valuable thing is that we keep this family together. We need to make sure that employees in the auto industry don’t lose their jobs. ”
Yenigün said all the automakers that are members of the OSD, which employs about 51,000 people, have applied for a work subsidy for a short time.
WE MUST PROTECT EMPLOYEES
* This is a very serious support for companies’ cash flows at this time. I anticipate that they will continue in the next period. You know, although the presidential decree is for the end of June, it can be extended for 3 months.
* So I don’t even want to think about it, but I guess the government will extend it for another 3 months if this job takes longer.
* Therefore, my prediction is that I suppose that the government will continue to provide this support in a sector that is difficult to train personnel such as the automotive industry and needs a high caliber, so that people have labor guarantees.
* Human resources are very important both in the supply chain and in the automotive industry. This has to be preserved to the end. I believe that the measures already taken will provide this. Businesses may fill in the missing part after brief government job support.
Yenigün commented: “It would have been until today if the workers had already been laid off.”
Production decreased by 22% and exports by 30% in March
The first effects of the coronavirus epidemic, which caused the majority of auotomotiv factories to stop their production, began to reflect on production and export figures, especially in the second half of March.
With the epidemic effect, total production decreased by 22 percent in March compared to the same period of the previous year with 103,350 units, while it decreased by 19 percent compared to the previous month.
In March, total exports decreased 30 percent compared to last year, with 83,771 units, while they fell 18 percent compared to the previous month.
OSD President Haydar Yenigün said the comparison would be more accurate compared to 2017: “Consequently, March 2020 shows a 35 percent decrease.
We can see that there is a 38 percent decrease in exports. These are the first problems. I think these numbers will be more surprising in April. “
Automotive gives a lot despite everything
Automotive Turkey said they are proud to be always owed, in the proportion of total exports Haydar new day, “the proportion of automotive in our good years, so it approached 19.5-20’y.
But this figure fell to 15.4 percent in March. This is the reflection of the epidemic. We anticipate that this will drop further in the coming period.
While we imported $ 39 billion in February, we exported $ 177 billion. So we gave more than 50 percent more. In this regard, he describes a sector that continues to give positive results despite the drop in figures. “
cars sold on the Internet in Turkey
“Under the law, you have the right to return in 14 days,” said ODD President Bilaloğlu.
The Automotive Dealers Association (ODD) and the Chairman of the Board Doğuş Otomotiv, Ali Bilaloğlu, were the guests of the “Otoyaşı” program that started on Sözcü TV.
not an economic crisis that we are experiencing, the economic problems that give rise to a reminiscence of the health of the Bilaloğlu crisis, “according to the good-if-effect scenario in late April of a pandemic and we begin to come back to life Normal by taking step measures in May, Turkey will recover quickly in the automotive market.
Because we started the year very well and we grew in the first 2 weeks from January to February or even in March. If we are recovering like May-June and we are growing at the beginning of the year after July and August, we can reach a parallel market to 2019 below 500 thousand at the end of the year.
If the pandemic process continues, it means a great depression. Not only Turkey, no country cannot afford it, “he said.
ONLINE AGREEMENT IS HARD
Stressing that nothing will continue as before after the pandemic, Ali Bilaloğlu said: “Looking at the automotive sector, online sales that have been prepared for a long time, that is, the sale of vehicles on the Internet will grow.
But in Turkey ‘distance contracts’, that is to say, a product that is obtained from the Internet by the law of distance sales contracts cannot be reimbursed to your liking and without showing any reason within 14 days.
Now this can happen in other products, but it is clear that this will not be the case for the car. This is a great obstacle to online sales. Now you can look over the Internet and make a reservation, you need to go to the dealer to get the sales contract. “
When the time comes for the incentive
Never fall Bilaloğlu pointed out that the program to boost expectations for the sector in Turkey, but said that after normalization should see him.
Bilaloğlu, “Turkey is having too many crises in recent years, we can overcome the pandemic crisis make the world more comfortable. But tax incentives should be made according to the course there.
Without a doubt, if the market does not show positive development, I am sure that the state will not retain its support as before. But the scrap incentive now should be an industrial policy, not financial support. “
Bilaloğlu also claimed that no one is firing after car sales and, conversely, they are working on how to protect their qualified personnel.
Electric car is no longer a priority
Claiming that electric cars are no longer the industry priority, Bilaloğlu said: “As brands make money and their profitability increases, they invest in electric cars. Now the situation is reversed.
There were also serious government incentives in countries where electric cars were sold the most. Now the state’s priority is to fight the pandemic.
In other words, while there is a contraction in the world economy, I think the electric car process has spanned at least 1-2 years. Furthermore, the European Union (EU) will put the emissions calendar on a new calendar due to the pandemic. “
Registration in the EU national car
National Automobile Project for Turkey Automobile Company Group of Employees (Togg), was awarded for its design registration application to the European Union Office for Intellectual Property Rights.
With registration rights will be valid for five years, the copying of the intellectual and industrial property rights belonging to Turkey in the design of the vehicle is prevented.
