The strategic cooperation between Togg and CATL has entered a new phase, with CATL seeking a finance manager to be assigned to Togg’s factory in Bursa. This step indicates that CATL is accelerating its corporate and operational structure in Türkiye.
For Togg T6, which is at the center of the cooperation, CATL will provide Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries offering cost advantages, safety and a long service life. The company will also contribute to chassis design and battery integration, with the aim of shortening the model’s development time.
Why it matters
The search for a finance manager indicates that the partnership may extend beyond battery supply to financial and administrative processes within the production structure in Bursa. This brings to the fore the question of how Togg’s domestic production operations will be coordinated with CATL’s battery and engineering contributions. The characteristics offered by LFP technology in terms of cost, safety and service life create issues to monitor, particularly with regard to T6’s production plan and product positioning. However, disagreement over the level of verification of the information concerning T6 in the council notes limits the drawing of definitive conclusions about the model’s development process from the job posting. Therefore, the remaining open question is the extent to which the hiring step will practically expand the scope of the partnership.
