About Tofas
TofaÅŸ (pronounced "toe-fush") is a Turkish automaker, based in Istanbul, Turkey and with a plant in Bursa. It builds Fiat models under license and also some locally-designed vehicles (mainly used as taxicabs).
History
The first TofaÅŸ model was a Fiat 124, produced under licence from Fiat and locally named TofaÅŸ Murat 124. Subsequently this model was replaced by a long production run of cars based on the Fiat 131, the Murat, the Åžahin. TofaÅŸ models are also produced under license in Egypt by the state owned Nasr car company. TofaÅŸ still maintains a close relationship with Fiat, producing its models both for the domestic market and for other countries.
