BD Otomotiv ve Elektrikli Araçlar A.Ş. is a Turkish-based company that has been active in the conversion of Light Commercial Vehicles from diesel to electric since the late 1990s. With a focus on the "Electrification of Transportation" in Turkey and metropolitan areas in Europe, the group has converted approximately 500 vehicles to date, primarily based on donor vehicles from Fiat and Renault.
Emphasizing the current global trends such as urbanization, social-demographic shifts, and climate change, BD Otomotiv is dedicated to offering e-mobility solutions for both corporate and individual needs. The company philosophy underscores the importance of integrating sustainable alternatives into transportation systems, particularly in urbanized areas, leading to the provision of 100% electric Light Commercial Vehicles.
To ensure the quality and safety of their products, the company's approach involves converting existing vehicles from large OEMs into electric vehicles by replacing traditional components with a fully electric drivetrain. Moreover, to underline quality, all vehicles come with a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty on the electric drivetrain and are certified by a European Type Approval.
Founded in 2008, BD Otomotiv operates in the manufacturing industry and is headquartered in Turkey. While their last investment and the corresponding investors are currently undisclosed, the company's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions reflects a potential for growth and alignment with the evolving global trends.
