What Ford cars are made in Turkey?
In Turkey, Ford’s local production is organized through Ford Otosan, a joint venture with Koç Group. The short answer is that Ford currently builds primarily commercial vans in Turkey, and there are no traditional Ford passenger cars assembled there today. The lineup centers on the Transit family and related variants, with ongoing investments tied to electrification and export-focused production.
Ford’s Turkish production footprint
Ford Otosan operates two major production facilities in Turkey as part of Ford’s global supply network. The plants are dedicated to assembling the Transit family of light commercial vehicles for European and global markets, with ongoing work to expand electrified options and maintain Ford Pro’s commercial-vehicle strategy.
Primary production sites and capabilities
The Turkish operations focus on completing the Transit family and its variants. These include different body styles and sizes based on the Transit platform, along with related passenger-oriented Tourneo variants built on the same underpinnings. This structure supports export to Europe and other regions.
Models produced in Turkey
- Ford Transit (full-size van)
- Ford Transit Custom (mid-size van)
- Ford Transit Courier or Transit Connect family variants (small van)
- Ford Tourneo variants (passenger-oriented versions built on Transit underpinnings)
The list above represents the core Ford-branded commercial and passenger-variant offerings produced in Turkey, primarily for European markets and Ford Pro customers.
What about passenger cars?
Passenger-car production in Turkey by Ford is not a current major activity. Ford’s passenger models for global markets are typically produced in other European or international facilities. In Turkey, the emphasis remains on commercial vehicles and related Mobility/Pro solutions as part of Ford’s broader European strategy.
Electric and future plans
As part of Ford Pro and its electrification push, electrified variants of the Transit lineup are central to Turkey’s production trajectory. The E-Transit and related electric van offerings are positioned to serve European customers, with production aligned to Ford Otosan facilities as Ford accelerates its transition to electrified commercial vehicles.
Industry impact and regional context
Turkey plays a growing role in Ford’s European manufacturing footprint, supporting job creation, regional supply chains, and exports. The Turkish plants’ focus on Transit-compatible platforms aligns with Ford’s global emphasis on commercial-vehicle efficiency, electrification, and local manufacturing.
Summary: Ford’s manufacturing presence in Turkey is anchored by Ford Otosan’s production of the Transit family—full-size, mid-size, and small van variants—and related Tourneo models. There are no current Turkey-based productions of Ford passenger cars; electrified Transit variants are part of the near-term strategy, reinforcing Turkey’s role in Ford’s European commercial-vehicle lineup.
