The first batch of HIZIR ACVs was off to Africa. HIZIR ACVs were unveiled for the first time during the 2016 Hightech Port Fair and mass production was launched with an order from an African country last year. The first export agreement of $ 20.7 million was signed in July 2019. Within the scope of the agreement, deliveries will be completed by the end of this year. Following this sale, Katmerciler has accelerated its negotiations for other international sales and it forecasts around US$ 45 million in export revenue by the end of the year.

Making a statement after the transfer of the first batch of HIZIR, Katmerciler Vice President of the Executive Board Furkan KATMERCİ said, “With HIZIR, we have conducted our first Armored Combat Vehicle export. We would like to repeat the export success we have achieved with our civilian on-vehicle equipment for many years in the field of defense as well. We have opened a new door with HIZIR. We will continue this success with HIZIR and our other qualified vehicles that we have developed according to different requirements.”
