Turkey’s leading defense companies have announced a strict policy prohibiting foreign-made electric vehicles from entering their campuses, signaling a potential shift in industrial security measures. The decision, led by the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TEI), reflects growing concerns over foreign influence in critical sectors and aligns with broader efforts to prioritize domestic technology. While the move targets electric vehicles, it underscores broader debates about national sovereignty in defense and automotive industries. Industry observers are closely watching whether this policy will extend to other foreign technologies or remain limited to campus access.
