Turkish Wagon Industry, Inc. (Turkish: Türkiye Vagon Sanayi Anonim Şirketi), more commonly known as TÜVASAŞ, is a railcar manufacturer based in Adapazarı. TÜVASAŞ is responsible for the construction, refurbishment and repair of railcars for the Turkish State Railways, and is a 100% shareholder of the Turkish State Railways,[1] reporting directly to the Turkish Ministry of Transport.
