On July 31, 2026, an international consortium led by TURKA signed a 20-year concession agreement with the Republic of Türkiye's Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and the Turkey — Privatization Administration (Turkey) to operate Türkiye's vehicle inspection system under the TURKA brand. The agreement, effective from August 15, 2027, involves a US$3 billion investment to modernize the country's inspection infrastructure, including 249 fixed stations, 103 mobile stations, and 900 lanes across 81 provinces.
