“The military vehicle technologies are changing rapidly across the world nowadays and that new-generation autonomous and hybrid electric vehicles are now seen in battlefields. The first example of the new technologies that will put an end to Turkey’s foreign dependency in military vehicles, particularly in terms of engines, has been seen today at the production facility,” Erdoğan said in a speech at the ceremony.

This armored electric combat vehicle of ours, also known as E-ZMA, which can be remotely driven unmanned and which has successfully passed 27 very difficult military tests, is now at the disposal of our military forces.”
