Ford Otosan to invest $2.4B, largest ever for Turkish auto industry​

100583.jpg

Ford Otosan, a joint venture of Koç Holding, Turkey’s largest conglomerate, and U.S. automotive giant Ford, Tuesday announced it will be making a 2 billion euro (nearly $2.4 billion) investment to manufacture new-generation commercial vehicles and batteries at its factory in Turkey.

The investment will make the carmaker’s factory in the industrial Kocaeli province Turkey’s first and only electric vehicle integrated production facility that will also manufacture batteries, Chairman of the Board Ali Koç told a meeting in the capital Ankara.

It also marks the largest investment ever made in the Turkish automotive industry, Koç said.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hailed the investment, saying it would provide Turkish engineers with serious capabilities in electric vehicles and batteries.

“Turkey will be the largest production center of electrical commercial vehicles in the future of the automotive industry,” Erdoğan told the meeting at the Presidential Complex.

Once completed, the investment will lift the Ford Otosan’s annual production capacity from 440,000 to 650,000, the president added.

HAVELSAN SNIPER TRAINING SIMULATOR

  • Training in classroom using real guns and binoculars
  • Creating realistic scenarios by adding all user requests to the scenarios including the situations encountered in the field of operation.
  • Training under variable terrain, weather and wind, day and distance conditions
  • Distance estimation, ballistic and wind correction training with MilDot or other scopes

Personnel who will take sniper training for the first time should practice their aiming techniques in a training environment before using real ammunition. The trainings can be given in the classroom environment without using ammunition, but with these methods, a real shooting feeling cannot be provided and the experience of using binoculars cannot be gained. In order to acquire the necessary abilities, snipers must shoot with real bullets at 1 km² polygons. This causes the relevant training to be expensive and it requires to take wide security measures in shooting ranges.

HAVELSAN has developed the Sniper Simulator, which can enable snipers to gain realistic training scenarios, shooting and binocular experience in a safe environment. Sniper Simulator; allows users to receive training in a repeatable and safe environment in a short time. It is also a cost effective solution that increases the level of planning and mission preparation.

HAVELSAN- Munition Scroring System(HMUSS)

HAVELSAN Munition Scoring System (HMUSS) has been developed to ensure scoring without human intervention for air-to-ground ammunition fires. The system is capable of scoring more than one fire simultaneously at more than one target. Reports generated by the system contain hitting images and videos for subsequent reviews and analyses.

Capable of automatic ammunition firing scoring using certain sensors under various environmental conditions, the Video Ammunitions Scoring System performs scoring of ammunitions based on a standard measurement capability, which in turn makes training assessments more unbiased, objective and reliable. Since the system is capable of measuring with certain precision under certain conditions, scoring of ammunition firing is done based on standard measurement capability and thus training assessments will be impartial and more reliable.

Science doesn't have to be localised to count, Turkish brains enough to be posted here - whether for Turkey's benefit or otherwise.. :)

Production facility opened for Graphene production
NANOGRAFI Co. Inc. was established in 2011 as a Nanotechnology start-up in order to produce critical nanomaterials such as Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) and Graphene and create a market on these materials. After the successful production of various types of CNTs, we began to study on the applications of different nanomaterials including nanotubes, metal oxides, carbides, clay nanoparticles. As a result of these research and production efforts, we released a wide variety of products to the local market on the second half of 2014.

In 2015, there’s been a rise on the demands of the local market and we began to develop new applications of nanomaterials according to customer demands ranging from new generation lightweight construction materials to high performance composites for aeroplanes. Simultaneously, wonder material ‘Graphene’ and Graphene related products were released to the market.

So far, we have made a lot of efforts to increase our product diversity and reliability through extensive R&D works, new collaborators from respected universities and new supplier contracts with worldwide-known corporations. Increasing interest on Nanotechnology products in the world led us to a new decision about the future plans of NANOGRAFI. Finally, in the first half of 2016, our wide-range of products and services have become available to the CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE.

New NANOTECH products and recent advances from our NGI-Lab are available in our website.

Turkey works on 6 coronavirus vaccine candidates​

Senior Turkish health official says local vaccine to come out soon​


Turkey supports six projects on vaccine against the coronavirus, according to a senior health official.

“Currently, six vaccine projects are supported under TUSEB” and two other vaccine projects’ transaction processes are ongoing, Erhan Akdogan, head of Health Institutes of Turkey (TUSEB), told Anadolu Agency.

The projects are being carried out in six Turkish universities including Erciyes, Hacettepe, Yildiz Teknik, Marmara, Ataturk, and Akdeniz.

Among these projects, the vaccine candidate at Erciyes University is at phase 2 trial, Akdogan said.

“Researches are still continuing at the university […] Scientific processes are underway for the vaccine development. We hope that the vaccine will come out soon,” he said.

A little more time is needed to reveal the preliminary results of the Erciyes University project, he added.

“Both scientists and TUSEB as well as TUBITAK [Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey] provided the necessary support for research and development very quickly and continues to do so,” he added.

The TUSEB began to support scientific projects for the development of vaccines immediately after the first coronavirus case was reported in Turkey, said Akdogan.

Vaccine candidate as nasal spray

While the vaccine candidate developed at the Erciyes University is an inactive one, Akdogan said that many different types of vaccine studies are being carried out in Turkey, including one in the form of a nasal spray.

“This is a new technology in the world as well,” he said, adding that its research and development process continues.

“Human trials have not yet begun for this vaccine candidate. This is a different vaccine developed by a private organization,” he added.

The product will come out after the scientific studies on domestic vaccines are completed, Akdogan said, adding when the phase 3 trial is completed and it gets the necessary approvals from the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency, it will go into production and widespread vaccination will be carried out.

“Production will take place in Turkey,” he added.

Akdogan also said that the research teams of the COVID-19 vaccine projects supported by TUSEB came together for a workshop in the capital Ankara on March 21-22.

Pointing out that scientists have gained significant experience in local vaccine researches, Akdogan said that they gathered to collaborate and share experience as well as for interaction among scientists.
