TÜRASAŞ Sivas Bogie Factory: The Hub of Localization in Rail Systems

The Heart of the Railway Industry: Sivas Established in 1939 for the maintenance, repair, and production of railway vehicles, the TÜRASAŞ Sivas Regional Directorate has become one of the cornerstones of Turkey's rail system industry.
Since its inception, the facility has built significant expertise in wagon production and spare parts manufacturing, a role it is now strengthening through bogie production.
The Critical Importance of Bogie Production The bogie, one of the most critical components of railway vehicles, is the main mechanical system that ensures trains move safely and steadily on the tracks.
This system is vital for the performance and safety of vehicles used in both freight and passenger transportation.
At the facility, different types of bogie systems required for freight wagons, passenger trains, and other rail system vehicles are produced entirely with domestic resources.
This significantly reduces Turkey's foreign dependency on railway equipment while continuously increasing the local production rate.
The domestic production initiative aims not only to reduce imports but also to develop technological know-how within Turkey.
Economic Contribution and Export Goals The Bogie Factory stands out not only for its production capacity but also for its contribution to the regional economy.
Supporting employment in Sivas, the facility strengthens Turkey's rail system production ecosystem.
The export of bogie and wagon systems produced at the facility to European countries reinforces Turkey's position in the international railway market.
With its modern production infrastructure, Turkey is expected to meet domestic market needs and become a stronger player in the global market.
