Production, logistics, and fleet investments
In the interview on Erçal Truck’s YouTube channel, Etna Maden Chairman Bülent Sülün spoke about the company’s production, logistics, and fleet investments.
New vehicle fleet
New vehicle investments are a key part of the logistics infrastructure that supports production capacity and on-time delivery to customers.
Dispatch capability
For Etna Maden, logistics is one of the foundations of production continuity, on-time delivery, customer satisfaction, and operational reliability.
A trust-based partnership
The relationship with Erçal Truck rests on vehicle supply alongside post-sale support, service assurance, and long-term partnership.
Efficient fleet management
The choice of Scania has stood out in Etna Maden’s logistics — for fuel efficiency, operating cost, and field-observed performance.
Customer-focused delivery
Professional driver training has contributed to the fleet’s long-term performance in economic, safe, and efficient vehicle use.
Mining and grinding activities
Operating in mining and grinding since 1996, Etna Maden carries out both quarry-side production and factory-side grinding processes for the calcium carbonate raw material known as calcite. The company continues to expand its investments in line with growing production capacity and a customer-focused approach.
From commercial relationship to trust-based friendship
Bülent Sülün emphasized that the logistics infrastructure has played a key role in Etna Maden’s growth and noted that the long-running partnership with Erçal Truck has evolved beyond a purely commercial relationship into a friendship rooted in trust. From service vehicles to company cars, many needs are met through Erçal Truck — and post-sale support and service assurance are as decisive as the purchase process itself in fleet investment.
Fuel Consumption Comparison
We didn’t believe it at first — then we saw it firsthand.
“They told us 26–25, which didn’t sound believable — but after we got the vehicle, we really did see those numbers.” — Bülent Sülün
Driver training and a culture of correct use
The interview highlighted not just vehicle investment but also driver training and a culture of correct use. Within professional driving training delivered by Scania trainer Abdullah Çalışar, drivers were taught hands-on how to use the vehicles economically, safely, and efficiently. Bülent Sülün underlined that Abdullah Çalışar’s training has made a tangible contribution to the fleet’s long-term fuel economy and performance.
