At the same time, we added 53 service vehicles that we bought through DMO to our fleet. Our Ankara is growing. We work on a 25/24 basis in 48 districts. We planned to buy over 100 vehicles in total, but the purchase of these vehicles was delayed due to the chip crisis and the pandemic. Therefore, we complete our previously missing tools in batches. Vehicle deliveries will continue. We will add foam tower, ladder, rescue and multi-purpose vehicles, which we call special vehicles, to the fire brigade in batches after May.”
