PRODUCTION OF POWER-PACK
None of the power-packs of armoured vehicles used or produced in Turkey are domestic. Therefore it is obligatory to obtain permission from the countries of the power-pack producers before selling or using these vehicles that we name national. The domestic vehicles produced in Turkey lack domestic engines and transmissions, although the HEMA Group has invested greatly in the power-pack production field and it exported 110 thousand engines merely in 2011. Moreover, most parts of these exported engines are manufactured in HEMA with domestic resources. HEMA proposed an offer to Undersecretariat for Defence Industries for the production of a National Power-pack composed of a 1700 BG Engine and Transmission for the aforementioned Altay tanks. The engine group that HEMA shall produce within the scope of this project consists of 3 separate groups of 500-850HP, 1000HP and 1500-2000HP for the time being. These power-packs are being designed for a variety of purposes including use of land and naval vehicles. Altay Tank and all armoured vehicles shall be fully indigenous when the power-pack (engine and transmission) is produced domestically.
