-TUMOSAN & SSB Altay tank power group contract
required external technical support
-TUMOSAN agreed with AVL, but the Austrian government did not give permission to AVL
-TUMOSAN could not find any external technical support provider and SSB contract was canceled, so AVL had to pay compensation to the SSB
-The truth is that the TUMOSAN could develop a 1500 HP group on its own, but the contract required external technical support
-Now SSB has signed two separate contracts with BMC POWER for 1000 and 1500 HP power groups
-BMC POWER will develop these power groups with all subsystems without any external support (this is a contract requirement)
-I heard that BMC POWER has built up a very powerful engine development team, and they have been working hard without any problems
-We may hear good news in the near future
Also, I will give you information about ship engines: the main machines and auxiliary machines between 2000 kW & 10000 kW will be designed and manufactured by TAIS MOTOR
To summarize: Turkey will no longer be dependent on foreign diesel engines and transmissions in 5 years
