Turkey’s defense industry has imposed a sweeping ban on foreign-produced electric vehicles, prohibiting them from entering its manufacturing facilities. The move comes as part of broader efforts to strengthen domestic production capabilities and reduce reliance on imported technology. Authorities cite concerns over national security and the need to prioritize locally developed solutions in critical sectors. The decision underscores growing tensions between economic self-sufficiency and global supply chain dependencies in defense-related industries.
