EVM builds on Anadolu Isuzu success with ROI agreement

EVM Direct Ireland (EVM IRL) is now the main distributor for Anadolu Isuzu as the Turkish brand expands into the Republic of Ireland market.

EVM UK started a partnership with Anadolu Isuzu from Turkey in June 2022 to distribute its range of buses and coaches in the UK market. Now EVM UK will expand this offering through its sister company EVM IRL in the republic of Ireland based in Killbeggan, Co Westmeath.

Anadolu Isuzu started in the UK market with EVM UK with its 39-passenger Visigo RHD produced under the Anadolu Isuzu AOS brand. Later in November 2022, the company exhibited its 35-seat and 37-seat AOS Grand Toro coach. Both models have already gained popularity with multiple new factory orders being made to the factory in Turkey for additional units.

Anadolu Isuzu, the leading commercial vehicle manufacturer in Turkey, continues to strengthen its sales and service network in international markets. Anadolu Isuzu aims to reach higher sales figures and a wider customer base in the Republic of Ireland market with EVM Direct Ireland with the distributorship agreement signed this week.

“From the moment I initially visited Anadolu Isuzu in Turkey, I could recognise this was a high-quality, high-volume manufacturer with a focus on technical precision” – Danny Mc Gee, EVM Managing Director

Danny Mc Gee, EVM Managing Director, said: “From the moment I initially visited Anadolu Isuzu in Turkey, I could recognise this was a high-quality, high-volume manufacturer with a focus on technical precision, this approach fits in with EVM’s vision for all of our product range. With EVM Direct Ireland having premises, existing infrastructure and relationships with the ROI market, it seemed like a natural progression for us to expand our distribution with Anadolu Isuzu into the Irish market.

“We’ve already had great success with the Visigo product with a number of units already working in the UK for the last few months. We have already agreed multiple sales of the Grand Toro 35/37 with the first units just starting to be delivered as we speak. Customer feedback and reactions have been great to the products and we expect much more success moving forward.”

“I am very pleased with the success we have already achieved with EVM UK and I am pleased that we have now signed a distributorship agreement with EVM IRL” – Tugrul Arikan, General Manager of Anadolu Isuzu

Tugrul Arikan, General Manager of Anadolu Isuzu, said: “As Anadolu Isuzu, we have recently reached significant momentum in international markets with our medium-size coach and bus models that fully meet the needs of modern municipalities and transportation/tour operators. With our sustainability-first approach, the vehicles we produce in our production facilities with smart factory features serve in the transportation sector in 45 countries in the world as of today. Each year, our environmentally friendly, low-emission, modern and safe vehicles are preferred more and more in European cities.

“I am very pleased with the success we have already achieved with EVM UK and I am pleased that we have now signed a distributorship agreement with EVM IRL. I strongly believe that we will achieve great success with EVM IRL in Ireland as we have done in the UK, which we know is one of the most demanding markets in Europe. With our tailor-made production capability, we strive to fully meet the demands and needs of our customers, and we attach great importance to their satisfaction”
