Acting as Turkey's industrial export anchor, the automotive manufacturing base is increasingly driven by advanced engineering and localized R&D capabilities. According to data from the Automotive Manufacturers Association (OSD), member organizations generated approximately $294 million in direct R&D exports in 2025 through 18 accredited technical research centers.

Across this high-precision value chain, mitigating frictional wear, reducing parasitic mechanical drag, and extending component life cycles directly impact industrial decarbonization targets and vehicle range optimization.

### IEA Global EV Outlook 2026: Electric Vehicle Volumes Exceed 20 Million

According to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Global EV Outlook 2026 report:

- **Market Penetration:** Global electric car sales expanded by 20% in 2025 to surpass 20 million units, representing roughly 25% of all new automobile registrations worldwide.
- **Advanced E-Mobility Fluids:** Contrasting with traditional internal combustion engines, battery electric architectures demand dedicated dielectric thermal fluids, ultra-low-viscosity e-transmission oils, and specialized greases capable of withstanding instant torque, continuous copper contact, and thermal fluctuations.
- **Smart Factory Plant Lubrication:** Beyond onboard vehicle fluids, FUCHS provides metalworking coolants, stamping fluids, and industrial machinery lubricants to automotive manufacturing plants, protecting tooling life and cutting operational energy intensity.

By integrating product development with circular lifecycle management, FUCHS Lubricants Turkey supports the industrial competitiveness of the Turkish automotive supply chain in its second century of progress.
