Standing out with its ambitious work in the field of electric mobility, TEMSA broke new ground in Türkiye by becoming the first Turkish company to receive a lithium-ion-based “Marine Battery Certificate” from Türk Loydu. This certificate, which is certified by Türk Loydu as being in compliance with international standards, is important evidence that the batteries developed by TEMSA in Adana can also be used safely in the maritime sector.
TEMSA Takes Mobility Solutions to the Seas
Continuing its growth with the partnership of Sabancı Holding and PPF Group, TEMSA has taken an important step towards its vision of taking mobility solutions beyond the highways. As a result of meticulous tests and controls conducted domestically and internationally, this prestigious certificate granted by Türk Loydu will increase TEMSA’s recognition in the international market and enable it to safely offer its products to the maritime sector. This certificate, which is mandatory for battery use in marine vehicles, was presented to TEMSA officials at a special ceremony held at the Türk Loydu headquarters on May 8, 2025.
TEMSA CEO Evren Güzel: “We Carry the Transformative Power of Electrification in Every Area of Mobility”
TEMSA CEO Evren Güzel, in his statement regarding this historic success, emphasized their goal of positioning TEMSA as a mobility company that creates value in different segments. Güzel said, “As TEMSA, we do not limit our vision to highways. In line with this understanding, while we strengthen our competitive power in our main fields of activity, we also continue to grow with new opportunity areas. Today, we carry the transformative power of electrification in every field of mobility, in the city, at sea, in the field. This prestigious certificate we received from Türk Loydu is also a strong indicator of our technological competence and quality standards. Thus, we have proven that the batteries we developed with our R&D and production power in Adana can be used safely in difficult maritime conditions. This success, which we have achieved by breaking new ground in Türkiye, will also make significant contributions to the global competitive power of both TEMSA and our country in the field of mobility.”
Sustainability Step in the Maritime Industry
This first lithium-ion based “Marine Battery Certificate” issued by Türk Loydu not only represents a corporate first for TEMSA, but also symbolizes an important pioneering step in terms of reducing carbon emissions, energy efficiency and spreading environmentally friendly technologies in the maritime sector. This certificate will contribute to the acceptance of electric propulsion systems as a reliable alternative in marine vehicles.
Sustainable Touches to Blue Waters from TEMSA
Signing strategic partnerships with the innovative battery technologies it develops, TEMSA aims to offer its customers a wider range of products and services with battery solutions suitable for challenging conditions such as maritime. The company made a significant contribution to sustainability in the sector with the electrification project of sea taxis it implemented with the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in 2022. This year, it reinforced its claim in the maritime sector by providing electrical conversion support to the OPENBOW Classic electric boat of YUKA YAT, one of Türkiye's leading yacht manufacturers, with a 102 kWh capacity battery pack.
Support to the Sector from Turkish Lloyd
Türk Loydu continues to provide technical support to the sector's environmental goals through such certification processes, where technologies that contribute to the sustainability and safety-focused transformation in the maritime sector are evaluated with an impartial and independent approach. TEMSA's success can also help the Turkish maritime sector gain significant momentum on the path to electric transformation.
