Exhibit 99.1
Marti and Tensor Partner to Deploy Autonomous
Vehicles in Türkiye
Istanbul, Türkiye,
July 13, 2026 - Marti Technologies, Inc. (“Marti” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MRT), Türkiye’s
leading mobility super app, and Tensor, a pioneer in personal autonomous vehicles, today announced a multi-year strategic partnership
to purchase and deploy Tensor autonomous vehicles (“AVs”) on Marti’s mobility platform in cities across Türkiye.
Marti currently offers
ride-hailing services in 20 cities across Türkiye representing approximately 80% of the country’s GDP, including Istanbul,
Ankara, Izmir, Kocaeli, Bursa, Antalya, Konya, Adana, Mersin, Gaziantep, Tekirdağ, Manisa, Kayseri, Muğla, Sakarya, Samsun,
Eskişehir, Denizli, Aydın, and Yalova. Following launch, Marti platform consumers will be able to hail Tensor autonomous vehicles
directly within the Marti app.
Founded in Silicon Valley
in 2016, Tensor is the first company to develop a Level 4 autonomous vehicle designed from the ground up for both personal ownership and
professional fleet operations. Leveraging a decade of AV development and holding California’s second-ever driverless testing permit
for passenger vehicles, Tensor revealed the world’s first personal Robocar in August 2025. While purpose-built for private owners,
the platform is fully functional for fleet deployment, featuring native ride-share capabilities that allow the vehicle to be seamlessly
integrated into global autonomous mobility networks. To maximize fleet uptime and performance, Tensor’s architecture features a
vertically integrated compute and sensor stack alongside proprietary sensor cleaning technology, enabling rapid scaling of operational
design domains and seamless enhancements via deep over-the-air (“OTA”) updates that extend down to the firmware level.
The Tensor Robocar is
powered by its proprietary supercomputer which includes 8x Thor-X NVIDIA GPU’s, which supports its sophisticated onboard AI and
a safety-first architecture utilizing high-redundancy systems.
“Our strategic
collaboration with Marti is a bold step in our mission to democratize autonomy and bring a premium autonomous experience to Marti platform
consumers,” said Dr. Jay Xiao, CEO of Tensor. “Building on our recent partnership announcements in the USA, UAE, and Europe,
this partnership reaffirms our global commitment to bringing the luxury of safe, efficient, and scalable autonomous mobility to the world.
Together with Marti, we are excited to deliver the cutting edge of transportation technology to platform consumers across Türkiye.”
“As Türkiye’s
leading urban mobility platform, Marti has consistently pioneered the introduction of new tech-enabled transportation services across
the country. We are proud to build on this track record by working to introduce autonomous ride-hailing to Türkiye in partnership
with Tensor,” commented Oguz Alper Oktem, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Marti. “With our extensive field operations
team, established infrastructure, and approximately 7.8 million all-time unique platform consumers, Marti is well positioned to support
the rapid, safe deployment of Tensor’s autonomous vehicle fleet in the years ahead.”
About Tensor
Tensor is an American
AI company dedicated to building agentic products that empower people. Its flagship product, the Tensor Robocar, is the world’s first
personal Robocar and the first AI agentic vehicle—fully autonomous, automotive-grade, and engineered for private ownership at scale.
Founded in 2016 in Silicon Valley and headquartered in San Jose, California, Tensor maintains a global footprint with offices in Barcelona,
Singapore, and Dubai.
Since its
inception, Tensor has consistently led the autonomous mobility landscape. The company secured its first California public road
testing permit in 2017 and subsequently achieved two historic regulatory milestones: becoming the second company in California
history to receive a CPUC permit for public RoboTaxi testing (2019) and the second to obtain a DMV permit for fully driverless
passenger vehicle operation (2020). Today, Tensor continues to pioneer the future of Agentic AI by delivering Level 4 autonomous
technology to both global ride-hailing networks and private owners.
