I don't know about anyone else but I would be too embarrassed to be seen getting in and out of this car. I am sure the owner put allot of hard work and thought into this car and I hope he is enjoying it, but no one is going to mistake it for a 4-door Lamborghini.

true, half of these cars are crappy gm cars lol

^^ Yeah that car is too much and frankly a stupid thing. i only liked the colour.

Yes seriously we need another thread for these! All I look into this thread for is news about the car industry but half the time I dont click on it because I know its going to be just another set of pics from some gathering of American car enthusiasts in Tehran (like I cant see pics of such cars just anywhere - Who cares if its in Tehran or in Detroit!!) or pics of some really expensive luxury import (Oh WOW! There are rich guys in Tehran who can afford to import these! :ohno:). We need to have a thread in the pictures section so people who like this stuff can post and view there and people who just want news of progress or lack of it in the car industry can filter all this stuff out.

Iran earmarks $1b for scrapping 1m old cars
Tehran Tomes Economic Desk

TEHRAN, June 12 (MNA) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has issued an order for launching a scrappage scheme to remove one million old cars across the country.

The sum will be allocated with the aim of renovating the public transportation fleet, Mehr news agency reported.

The plan will lead to the reduction of pollutants by 6 million tons per day. Half of the scrapped cars will not be replaced, the report added.

In all seriousness though IKCO tried with Rover before the Chinese got in on the deal now is there chance to buy a relatively good car company and decent technology for a cut down price. Plus I would love a SAAB 93 Wagon in Tehran!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the brand let me show you
http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/imagecache/file/width/500//media/3437946/Saab%209-3%20Sportwagon%20(1).jpg

Man, I was thinking about this earlier today.

IKCO should serious consider buying SAAB.

Yuk, GM platform... It's basically a dressed up opel/vauxhall.

There is my post! Thanks Mods!

Yuk, GM platform... It's basically a dressed up opel/vauxhall.

But in all honesty a dressed up GM platform with fancy parts on it is still a step up from the quality of Iranian cars at present. Plus the technology from this car could be used which in tern to build future cars in Iran. Not to mention the company could develop more high end brands in conjunction with the Swedes. Win win for all!

Iranian Automaker Plans to Design, Manufacture 11 New Products

TEHRAN (FNA)- President of the Middle-East's largest carmaker, Iran-Khodro Company (IKCO), said his company plans to design and manufacture 11 new cars in the next 7 years.


"The plan would bring about a golden opportunity for auto industry development. IKCO has arranged a comprehensive program for this purpose as a part of which we can refer to design and production of two new platforms and 11 new cars in a seven-year program," President and CEO of Iran Khodro Industrial Group Javad Najmeddin said.

According to the strategy of Iran's 2025 auto industry development vision plan, at least 50 percent of products portfolio have been planned to be allocated to domestic brands.

Due to the high cost of platform design, carmakers all around the world mostly design and produce common platforms. For the same reason, IKCO has adopted measures to fulfill the project at the lowest possible cost or in joint venture with foreign investors.

Najmeddin reiterated that according to the targets and policies of the auto industry in 2025 perspective, Iranian carmakers must produce three million cars, one third of which to be exported.

He also mentioned that IKCO aims to employ new marketing methods and techniques to develop its global market share and export 16 percent of its total products in the next three years. This amount is going to be increased to 30 percent of IKCO's total products in ten years.

Najmeddin referred to hybrid engines as an effective strategy to increase cars' fuel economy, and underscored that hybrids play an important role in boosting up fuel efficiency and lowering cars' emission.

To conclude his remarks, he stated that hybrid Samand would hit the market by the end of this year.

http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9004111098

I wonder who they are planning on working with? I guess Kia or Hyundai I would guess would be the most obvious choices. I would love to see a hybrid. I suppose hybrid's would be a good idea, would that be battery/benzine?

battery -benzine and probably battery -natural gas

Sounds like a good idea and probably they will do all the cars in this. What is the domestic battery technology like at present. I mean in the Europe the cars can do no more than 160KM on the battery's

I wonder how these 11 new eleven cars will look like. I hope they are some SUV's there to.

Can we just skip SUV's the roads are already clogged with Kia Prides imagine everyone buying American size cars again, Tehran would be shafted.

question:

if they say 11 new cars, do they mean totally new models like runna or dena? or also updates of previous models?

i think a few complete new models (they have plans for a coupe and suv and station wagon and mini car) , and brand new , head to toe updates on the previous models

it is great that we are making process here. I mean 11 new cars in 7 years sounds great.

IKCO should serious consider buying SAAB.

will never happen unfortunately. remember the thing with rover?

Never say never, just need the right about of money.

Iran Khodro to mass-produce Runna

Iran Khodro (IKCO), the leading auto-manufacturer in the Middle East, has announced readiness for the mass-production of a new economy car.


The Iranian automaker announced on Saturday that it has prepared the production line for the new low-cost vehicle, known as Runna, and will produce at least 15,000 units of it by the end of the Iranian calendar year (ending March 20).

IKCO also seeks to increase Runna's production to around 150,000 units per annum, 25 percent of which will be slated to hit overseas markets.

With its 1.6-liter engine, the passenger car is said to be the first of its kind to meet Euro IV and V emission standards, which were respectively issued for 2005 and 2008.

According to IKCO, the company's domestic market share increased from 46.5 percent in 2008 to 48.8 percent in 2009 and 49.5 percent in 2010.

There has also been a leap in the sales from 558,304 cars in 2008 to 643,455 cars in 2009. The auto company sold about 765,468 cars in 2010.

Iraq was the biggest market for IKCO cars, particularly Samand sedan.

Syria and Venezuela were second and third, buying 2,481 and 1,873 of IKCO cars respectively.

Confirmed:

Iranian Automaker Plans to Start Mass-Production of New Home-Made Car

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran-Khodro Company (IKCO) announced on Saturday that it has prepared all the needed facilities to launch mass production of a second home-designed passenger car, named Runna, this year, adding that it also aims to manufacture 15,000 units of this second national brand by the end of the current Iranian year (March 20, 2012).


IKCO's Deputy CEO for Passenger-Car Production Ali Sheikhzadeh said his department has established the body production line for the car.

He also added that his department has regarded this technical program as a top priority over the last months and now everything is ready to start production on schedule.

"Our previous experience in this field has enabled us to quickly prepare the ground for the production of new cars based on the top management's policy," the Deputy added.

In order to improve quality and engineering capabilities, over 38 projects have been implemented in the department, Sheikhzadeh added and restated that enjoying motivated and skilled workforce, his department can provide any needed required facility for the production of new cars.

Runna is an economy car that has been designed with the purpose of developing national brands based on the most modern standards.

IKCO has targeted an annual production of 150 thousand units of this car in its domestic and overseas production plants, 25 percent of which is going to be allocated to global sales.

IKCO has scheduled to produce 15 to 20 thousand Runnas this year.

http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9004183834

Question:

Why do we not give our taxi drivers the new Runna and Dena cars? First, it would decrease pollution. Second, it would further increase trust in Iranian cars. We should really do that. At the same time, it is good that we cooperate with the Japanese, Germans, Koreans, and French.

^^ It needs a really good management that we lack.

iran's hige problem is management, there is technology, science and groups of the best engineers in the world but 0 management and organisation

I agree that there is little management!

lol then we never will have any progress.

This year around 15.000-25.000 Runnas will be build in Iran.

Lol yeah, didn't know how long the Soren has been on the streets. Like the design of that car. What I do not understand is that our taxi system do not get better cars. Given the high numbers people travel with taxis they should be new foreign models or atleast either the Soren, Runna, or Dena.

Here some interesting cars in Iran:

Iran's Auto Industry Set to Grow by 8 percent

Research and Markets: Iran Autos Report Q3 2011: Industry Expected to Post Another 8% Increase this Year

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/re...n_autos_report) has announced the addition of the "Iran Autos Report Q3 2011" report to their offering.

Business Monitor International's Iran Autos Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, auto associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Iran's automotive industry.

The imposition of international trade sanctions on Iran has done little to dent the unprecedented expansion of the country's automotive industry. Following the 7.5% y-o-y rise in the sales of completely built units (CBU) in 2010, the industry is expected to post another 8% increase this year.

The expansion has been led by Iran Khodro (IKCO), which overtook its rival Saipa as the country's leading vehicle producer for the first time in 2010 and is coming close to its long-held desire to control over 50% of the Iranian auto market. IKCO produced 774,965 vehicles in 2010, an annual increase of 20%. The company has set an ambitious production target for 2011 of 850,000 vehicles. IKCO has opened a number of production facilities over the last few years and in 2012 is scheduled to open another plant in Tabriz capable of producing 200,000 vehicles a year: impressive statistics for a car company anywhere, let alone one operating under the restrictions of international sanctions. The sanctions may have in fact helped IKCO. The Iranian government has invested heavily in the car industry and with restrictions on foreign trade and heavy tariffs on imported vehicles, domestic car buyers have had little option other than to turn to Iranian manufacturers.

In addition to the strong government support, IKCO has been looking to increase exports and establish joint ventures (JVs) with firms overseas. IKCO plans to introduce 10 new Iranian built models by 2018, starting with the Dena sedan next March. BMI holds the view that the Iranian car industry will continue its expansion over the next few years to record levels and that there will be a corresponding increase in exports, particularly to markets traditionally friendly toward Iran.

Just wait till they say Sepah own them and get slapped with big sanctions on all areas of the company.

(They are the American Government by the way)

Iran exports to Venezuela, Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iraq
none of them give a shit about the US enough to stop importing cars.

And the US is a bankrupt has been. They can't even pay the interest on their loans anymore (sure, they can raise the debt limit and borrow more cash to pay their interests but the country's entire sum of liquid assets is less than 1.5 trillion. They're gonna default sooner or later). We're gonna see less and less countries bending over for them in the next few decades.

تبریز شهر آرزوها


تبریز قطب سوم خودروسازی کشور
قطب سوم خودروسازی کشور کجاست؟تبریز، اصفهان، اهواز یا کرمان


تبریز بهترین گزینه برای قطب سوم خودروسازی کشور

نصر نیوز: این روزها خبرهای مختلفی مبنی بر ایجاد قطب سوم خودروسازی در نقاط مختلف کشور به گوش می*رسد، به*طوری که برخی نمایندگان مجلس داعیه ایجاد قطب سوم خودروسازی کشور در شهر و استان خود را در سر می*پرورانند. به گزارش نصر نیوز، استان های کشور هر یک بر اساس ظرفیت هایی که دارند به قطب محصول یا تولید خاصی شهره عام و خاص هستند. برخی از استان ها در تولید محصولات کشاورزی،


برخی دیگر در تولید محصولات صنعتی، برخی در مباحث فرهنگی و برخی دیگر نیز در حوزه های گردشگری، ورزشی و غیره.
با وجود اینکه قطب بودن آن استان در حوزه ای خاص از ظرفیت های حوزه های دیگر آن استان نمی کاهد ولی زمینه ای را فراهم می آورد که سیکل توجهات به آن استان در زمینه ای خاص بیش از پیش خودنمایی می کند.
استان آذربایجان شرقی نیز با دارا بودن بیش از هفت هزار واحد صنعتی به ویژه در حوزه قطعه سازی خودرو، وجود شهرک فناوری قطعات خودرو و واحدهای صنعتی متعدد تولید خودرو در سال های اخیر به قطب سوم تولید خودرو کشور تبدیل شده است با این وجود متاسفانه در روزهای اخیر اظهارنظرهای مختلفی مبنی بر اینکه استان های خوزستان یا اصفهان یا حتی کرمان قطب سوم خودروسازی کشور خواهند شد، فعالان صنعتی این حوزه در آذربایجان شرقی را آزرده خاطر کرده است.
در حالی که محرابیان وزیر سابق صنایع و معادن کشور، آذربایجان شرقی را قطب سوم بلامنازع خودروسازی کشور عنوان کرده بود، مجید هدایت رئیس سازمان گسترش و نوسازی صنایع ایران در گفت و گویی تامل برانگیز ایجاد قطب سوم خودروسازی در استان خوزستان را مطرح کرده است!


تبریز قطب سوم بلامنازع خودروسازی کشور
رضا رحمانی نائب رئیس کمیسیون صنایع و معادن مجلس در این خصوص می گوید: با وجود اینکه برخی از دوستان تلاش دارند شهرهای اهواز و اصفهان و کرمان را به عنوان قطب سوم خودروسازی کشور معرفی کنند ولی باید بگویم تبریز قطب سوم خودرو سازی کشور شده است.
وی معتقد است: در حال حاضر واحدهای مختلف خودروسازی در استان آذربایجان شرقی در حال تولید هستند که هر کدام از این واحدها برای خود ظرفیت های فراوانی دارند، وجود واحدهای قطعه سازی خودرو، شهرک فناوری قطعات خود در کشور بی نظیر هستند به همین دلیل مقایسه ظرفیت های خودروسازی این استان با سایر استان ها معقول و منطقی نیست.
وی اذعان داشت: هر استانی بر اساس توانمندی های خود ظرفیت هایی دارد، مثلا کرمان در تولید خرما و سایر استان ها نیز به تبع ظرفیت های خود، استان آذربایجان شرقی و تبریز نیز به واسطه ظرفیت های فراوان خود در امر صنعت خودروسازی قطب خودروسازی کشور است.
با این اوصاف به نظر می رسد، با بهره برداری کارخانجات گروه صنعتی ایران خودرو آذربایجان چرخه تولید خودروهای سبک، سنگین، اتوبوس، مینی بوس و حتی خودروهای لوکس در استان آذربایجان شرقی تکمیل شود که به حتم این موضوع تاثیر فراوانی در جایگاه این استان در کشور خواهد داشت.


احداث بزرگترین مجموعه خودروسازی در آذربایجان شرقی
حسین نقدی مدیر عامل گروه صنعتی ایران خودرو آذربایجان می گوید: بزرگترین مجتمع خودروسازی کشور به حول و قوه الهی نیمه نخست امسال در آذربایجان شرقی به بهره برداری می رسد که با راه اندازی این واحد صنعتی امید آن می رود که تحولی اساسی در صنعت خودرو سازی کشور به وقوع بپیوندد.
وی می افزاید: در این مجتمع قرار است سالانه 200 هزار دستگاه پژو 206 و پژو 207 با به کارگیری آخرین فناوری های روز دنیا تولید شود.
وی معتقد است: با بهره برداری از کارخانجات مجتمع ایران خودروی آذربایجان برای بیش از 15 هزار نفر به صورت مستقیم و غیر مستقیم زمینه اشتغال فراهم خواهد شد که این موضوع خود در فرصت سازی برای جوانان مستعد و توانمند استان تاثیر گذار خواهد بود.


آمایش صنعتی تبریز و صنعت خودروسازی
این گزارش حاکی است، حسین گروسی از اعضای کمیسیون صنایع و معادن نیز در این خصوص گفت: بهتر است که قطب سوم خودروسازی در استان آذربایجان شرقی راه*اندازی شود چراکه نمایندگان مجلس با توجه به آمایش صنعتی که در آن استان انجام دادند، این استان را گزینه مناسبی برای خودروسازی می*دانند.
وی با اشاره به اینکه هر نماینده*ای تمایل دارد که قطب سوم خودروسازی در شهر و استانی که در حوزه*اش است، راه*اندازی شود، افزود: تنها ایجاد کارخانه و قطب خودروسازی مهم نیست. بسیاری از عوامل موجب می*شود که یک خودروساز عملکرد مناسبی ارائه کند.
گروسی اظهار داشت: تولید صادرات*محور یکی از عوامل موثر بر موفقیت خودروسازان محسوب می*شود. البته یکی از عوامل رسیدن به این هدف رعایت کردن استانداردهای روز دنیاست.
این عضو کمیسیون صنایع و معادن با اشاره به آمایش سرزمینی که در استان آذربایجان شرقی به ویژه در شهر تبریز انجام شده است، اظهار کرد: با توجه به اینکه بسیاری از قطعه*سازان خودرویی در تبریز مشغول به فعالیت هستند، بهتر است که قطب سوم خودروسازی در این شهر راه*اندازی شود.
وی در پاسخ به این پرسش که سرمایه راه*اندازی قطب سوم خودروسازی از کجا تامین می*شود، اضافه کرد: سرمایه*گذاری در این بخش خصوصی است. هنگامی*که سرمایه*گذار خصوصی باشد نمی*توان به اجبار گفت که باید در این استان سرمایه*گذاری کند. بلکه با توجه به آمایش سرزمینی و بررسی استان*ها می*تواند قطب را راه*اندازی کند.
گروسی درباره تبدیل شدن خوزستان یا اصفهان به سومین قطب خودروسازی کشور، تصریح کرد: اصفهان *به*عنوان قطب گردشگری و الکترونیک معروف شده و خوزستان نیز به لحاظ آب و هوا در شرایط مناسبی قرار ندارد.
متاسفانه با وجود آشکار شدن تمام ویژگی ها و ظرفیت های استان آذربایجان شرقی و تبریز در امر قطعه سازی و خودروسازی متاسفانه برخی نمایندگان مجلس در استان های اصفهان، خوزستان و کرمان در ادعاهایی جالب حوزه های انتخابیه خود را قطب سوم خودروسازی معرفی می کنند و چنان با قاطعیت با رسانه ها مصاحبه انجام می دهند که گویا راه اندازی واحدهای صنعتی آن هم در حد و اندازه های خودروسازی یک شب امکان پذیر است که در آستانه انتخابات مجلس چنین ادعاهایی را مطرح می کنند.
به حتم اگر هر استانی بر اساس ظرفیت های خود قدم در مسیر توسعه بردارد زمینه توسعه اقتصادی در آن منطقه بیش از پیش فراهم خواهد آمد و این فرصت نیز برای مردم بومی منطقه ایجاد خواهد شد تا در حوزه های دارای تخصص فعالیت کنند و بسیاری از هزینه ها از جمله اعزام متخصصان غیر بومی به آن مناطق نیز حذف شود.
به هر حال امیدواریم مسئولان نیز در اظهارات خود دقت کنند تا با برخی اظهار نظرهای غیر کارشناسی زمینه اطلاع رسانی های غیر واقع را در رسانه ها فراهم نیاورند.

Even when they launch new designs they are extremely slow to actually start production so that designs are pretty much out of date by the time production starts.

Even when they launch new designs they are extremely slow to actually start production so that designs are pretty much out of date by the time production starts.

That's true - And there is nothing really original about their designs to begin with.

The MAIN thing keeping their quality down is their cheapness, they try to save costs on every single thing (even if it means safety).

Hi, I have been looking at possible cars I wish to buy in Tehran, and noticed on the Renault Iran site they mention a couple of cars I haven't seen on the roads? Anyone know more of these new cars (http://www.renault.co.ir/range.html?type=1)?

Sorry and I hate to say this, but it is a shame what these damn Arabs in Dubai are driving and what we are driving and all this while having the second greatest oil reserves of the world. Shame, shame, shame!!

The arabs don't have there own manufacturing industries and when the oil has gone for the Saudi's it will be too late to start from scratch. Count yourself lucky, besides don't you live in Los Angeles, Thailand Ardeshir?

U do not get my point. I know that Iran manufactures. If we would produce 1 Million Runna's and Dena's our streets would you better and our air would be fresher. Make a fair price out of the 2 cars.

It only can get better, not worse.

Actually I am going to buy the only damn station wagon available in Iran. Not a fan of saloon/sedan. And a 206 is too small I am afraid, and they never produced the 206 SW
So your getting a 405 estate?

405 and Kia Pride are such crappy cars. Sad that Iranians have to drive such old crap.

405 Estate? Do they still make them, well either way I am wanting one that is somewhat more modern than the lovely 405. I think the the Renault Tondar/Logan has good NCAP safety rating? I bet the 405 isn't as safe!

http://www.euroncap.com//carimages/221.jpg

Well, the logan gets 3/5 star rating not the best but better than the 405!

ive seen plans for a pride vanette :bash:

These French frog eaters are selling us their old crap while having Anti-Iranian politics. Sarkozy, the Jew hates Iranians. We need to stop cooperating with them, telling them keep your shitty cars for yourself, you French faggots.

Propaganda. Iran Khodro is building Runna and Dena and are planning 11 new cars in the next 7 years.

Iran does not need the French anymore.

But since they are building now new Renault and Citroen products, they can stay.

Hi an Iranian living in Canada, can you guys tell me if there are newer model Honda Civics in Iran? like if they're sold there or can one import it? Even if it had a 90% tax.

Im looking to convert cheap cars into beautiful works of art so that everyone can have a cool car.
The following is a sample, but the other picture is how I want to convert a Civic to for next year and possibly expand to Iran.

^^ I dont think it is imported. Most imported cars are luxury models. Even if it was imported it would probably be the European Civic not the north American type. They import/assemble the Proton Persona probably with some kind of tax break deal with Malaysia if that would be something you can modify. Or why not just modify an IKCO Dena/Soren?

I would like to redesign a popular modern and cheap car local to Iran one day in my life time, but the Civic has a special shape, like a Lambo and one can be bought for $7000 American right now.

^^ Wow thats cheap! But unfortunately the range of car models available in Iran at reasonable prices is very limited compared to most countries. I think they must at least be assembled there in order to avoid most of the massive import taxes. You very rarely see Honda cars of any model there apart from maybe Kish Island free trade zone.

Without French, Dena and Runna wouldn't have existed. Runna is just a 206 sedan, and Dena was designed from samand/405;

Stop writing Zionist/american bullshit. you are lying. dena is a car that has nothing to do with any other car. runna the same. you are just a ignorant who reads anti-iranian crap like fox news and other zionist bs media.

Iran has made the worlds most powerful natural gas car engine. They make rockets for space... but too bad the people that run the car industry have such bad taste in their car designs though.

If its priced for 7k in the U.S., even with it being imported upto 100% at 14k, I think it should still be okay.

I will have to call the embassy here and check one of these day but surely a Civic should be allowed import.

This Tariff shit is such a bs. Another sign that the wrong people are ruling in Iran.

It seems that Iranians like to kind of oppress and destroy themselves.

@vigorous

better get a mazda, nissan, hyundai or renalut. there are no hondas in iran.

no it's not
without the tarrifs IKCO would have gone bankrupt by now. Because of the tariffs our industry is growing. Plus, think about all the jobs that the car industry has created. Japan was doing this for decades. Do you think Honda would have been the Honda of today if Japan hadn't stopped foreign autos from flooding the Japanese markets in the 70s, 80s etc...?

stop being so extreme all the time

The tariffs are actually a great idea

I appreciate the tariffs too, spending on cars is in line after going into debt for housing. I would much rather Iran protect that coin with-in the country, but the designs better catchup fast because the current line ups are ridiculous.

Hopefully the nicer Genesis coupes and Nissan g35's are/will be somewhat affordable there.

yeah and it also creates a ton of jobs in a country that needs it desperately. It's not just people working in the IKCO plants. There are a ton of smaller manufacturing facilities that supply these large factories and the more the auto industry grows, the more people they will obviously employ.

we can argue about this the whole day. however, irans car industry has made process, but we are not at japans level yet. why can't u produce your own cars and at the same time lift tariffs? not even 1 % of all people around the globe can afford a car between 80.000-100.000 dollars.

but yes, it creates jobs. how many are employed by ikco right now?

if u lift tariffs less will by iran's own cars they would buy imported

eg a camry would be 25000000 toman rather than 80 million, so much more would buy it

i personally wouldnt dare drive that in iran, too much risk of scratches lol

so does mercedes

porsche also opened 2 namayeshgahs i think

yeah,

i think for right now maybe the tariffs are ok. but why would it hurt ikco if they lift them? they could learn from top german and japanese cars and copy them etc. and sell it for a cheaper price. ikco can produce already 850.000 cars. so if the tariffs are lifted and they continue to produce so many cars, why would they be hurt?

if u lift tariffs less will by iran's own cars they would buy imported

eg a camry would be 25000000 toman rather than 80 million, so much more would buy it

u know, i respect iran's technology as u know. but people do not want to drive shity kia prides anymore. and ikco takes to much time for their products to be produced. look the problems around the soren, runna or dena. btw, nice and good japanese and german cars would increase cleaner air, less gasoline consumption, safer driving, would make life easier etc. etc.

i get full of hate when i see dirty lizard arabs in dubai with ferraris while we have to drive shity prides. do u get my point?

i mean what is the point with destroying our environment etc.

Question:

As IKCO is right now producing the new Suzuki Kizashi model, are they also sold with tariffs?

They are producing Mazda models:

ba negho pegh kardan kar dorost nemishe
stop nagging

are you going to finance IKCO's new plant? IKCO has the sanctions issue to deal with. They can't borrow money from foreign banks like all other auto companies can. Honda can take out a loan from a bank anywhere around the world and have cash in hand w/in a week. Iranian car companies have to wait for the Iranian govt for loans and if the funds aren't there, your hands will be tied. Sometimes they have to wait for months for loans.

We can all agree on the fact that having these Iranian car companies dominating the Iranian mkt is a good thing for the following reasons:

1) growth of industry

2) creation of much much needed jobs

3) potential for having a future auto super power (IKCO has registered the highest growth in the world over the past decade or two and Saipa hasn't been doing bad either).

Removing the tariffs is simply not an option. IKCO's strategy right now is quantity over quality. As long as they make money, I'm happy. Their survival to me is more important than having good looking cars in Iran.

You guys are simply not getting it.

U say quantity over quality? How do u know what the people in Iran want? You are saying lets keep the old French and Korean trash on the street. What right do we have to say, "ok you have to drive that French shit"? Again, what about the environment? What about gasoline waste? What about save cars? What about easier life for people and the the climate? You can't ignore that.

I am not sure about the banking stuff. But they managed to built nice cars like Runna and Dena. They are going to built 11 new cars in 7 years. This sounds well to be and I would not be angry anymore if we see them on the streets. Wouldn't care then anymore for the tariff shit.

Iran's car industry will not be harmed by cutting the tariffs. Industry will not suffer as IKCO and Saipa are producing as usual. Every year they produce more. Tariff's has nothing to do with that.

Jobs will be there. U guys sound like there is only the car industry in Iran and nothing else. What is the tariff issue when IKCO and Saipa are producing cars as usual? Not all people would import cars and there would be more competition. Let the people decide if they want a Camry or a Dena!

I agree with ur last point. Would love to see our cars get exported and so on.

Again, if we export more of our models and lift tariffs, all would benefit. People will still buy Runna's and Dena's. What about giving our taxis Soren, Runna, and Dena? Would be so many cars. IKCO would produce as usual, people are having their jobs. Tariffs are gone and people decide themselves what they want. It is a good thing that Iranian cars have a fair price.

why would anybody buy an Iranian car when they would be able to buy a Japanese or Korean import for a little bit more?
hence the tariffs.

And IKCO was producing less than 200K around 2000. Now they are almost at 800K. That's a HUGE increase in a short time. Give them time to come up with better models.

well, this is a question IKCO needs to answer. there must be competition. you can't say u only can buy this car or otherwise pay tariffs. makes no reasonable and economical sense.

and yes i fully support ikco's efforts. the dena looks like every good japanese or korean model!

Question again: Is the tariff also there for foreign cars being produced INSIDE of iran??

What would you want more if you lived in Iran Ardeshir? A job and an IKCO car or a big choice of cars that you cant afford because you've got no job? Jobs or a greater range of choice when buying cars? To me jobs are infinitely more important.

In the hypothetical situation of where you would introduce 0% tariff on cars, lets think what would happen seeing the current situation. External car manufacturers lets say Chinese and Indian would flood the Iranian car market with loss leading cars just to gain a foothold in the Iranian market. IKCO and SAIPA would be reduced to smaller manufacturing bases and would have to lay off a large section of there staff from development to shopfloor. This would have a huge knock on effect on Karaj and West Tehran. As many of the industrial and service industries in this section of the country rely on these manufacturers.

The loss of a local car industry from the UK experience has devastating effects for generations of families in the effected area. The local economy falls to its knees's as the flow of money evaporates over night. You see the UK government of Margaret Thatcher sold off the entire of British Leyland, this was the British Iran Khodro. To this day sections of the country have never recovered.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/98/British_Leyland_Logo.png

The Link to the Wiki page is here for the demise of British Leyland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Leyland)

Iran on the other hand is following the French model, which to this day has governmental backing, and all the better for it. We can still buy Citroen, Peugeot and Renault cars as the French government's cannot afford to let these companies down. Capitalism is good but not to the point of the stupidity of the Anglo-saxon economies.

would recommend the renalut latitude or the nissan teana. looks nice.
yes, these websites say which cars u can get. do they also get tariffs from those foreign cars being built in iran?
The cars you mentioned have potential but with or without tariffs I bet there still pretty expensive for the regular worker.

Iran needs beautiful cars so that people will cherish them, repair them over time and not waste on a new car every so many years. They just need to be cheap and modern. To get around this in a short time, if I were a business tycoon, I would import cheap Civics and MR2's, even with expensive tariffs, and convert them into the following designs that I plan for myself.

Used reliable Japanese car are not only already engineered, but used parts are abundant too. Just as Cuba restores cars from the 70's to be reliable... due to the embargo, Iranian engineers have already been refurbishing air plans. Making used converted Japanese cars to keep up design demands in Iran would see many sectors profit.

My next goal after the Civic mod is to stretch an MR2 and put my design on it.

arfeshir jan, when you lift tariffs, nobody would buy the iran made cars, hence the industry would collapse!!!!!!!!

for another 2 decades they need to sacrifice the environment and "pretty cars" until iran khodro is big enough, strong enough and good enough to compete with foreign brands

and you say "they should import mercedes etc" as if there is no other cars in iran

there crapppp loads of high end BMWs and Benzs and and lexus etc in iran, many
people have foreign cars

and you cant just "copy a benz" and learn from it, iran khodro has already learned as much as they can from foreign auto industries , now its time for them to take the drawing board in hand

and about the suzuki: when they assemble a foreign car that means there is no tariffs, since its not imported anymore

eg the french cars are all normal priced, since they are all home-made

amd why do you hate french cars? they are beautiful

dont just look at iran's few models

citroen, puegeot renault etc have many great models, and the 206 and persia are favorites in iran

also iran has started producing 207i

good to know. they should then assemble more new models from different companies.

amd why do you hate french cars? they are beautiful

lol i do not hate them. they are actually nice, of course the newer models. would be nice to see the streets full of new Renaults, pegauts, citroens.

ppl wouldnt buy them because they wont! the quality isnt bad but again this whole idea of somehting being farangi and kElas bala will dominate the market. foreign autos do have some advantages and better quality, so they will be bought more, mardome iranam ke ba harchizi ke iraniye dargiri daran ,

maybe note 2 decades, but yes, and btw the new models have very low emission rates, and use little gas
those were from the peykan days

I was recently in France and drove past a 207i they call it the 206+, I thought wow they made them in France too. So with locally assembled cars Iran will in the next ten years be at the level of French car companies. And as they have worked hand in hand with Iranian engineers then the industry will be better off for it.

Most Iranian made models now conform to European emissions standards actually (although probably not Peugeot Roa and Saipa). The problem with traffic fumes is caused by congestion, the sheer volume of traffic, low quality fuel, the remaining Peykans, Mazda Pickups, old Merc trucks/busses still on the road and the geographic situation of most cities surrounded by hills and mountains.
this is irrelevant and makes no sense, sorry.
It makes perfect sense. I simplified the point as much as I could just for you.

why would that be the case? why would not anyone buy them?
Some people would still buy them but the market would then be divided between many companies and IKCO would lose most of its market share overnight.

ikco will hardly suffer if they manage to export and get better.

the fuel quality is actually increasing now!

btw.

i really do like france and french people. they have much more culture and are much more pro iranian than the americans. unlike the english or americans, they actually like us and are aware ouf iranian culture. only french politicians hate us since qajar time. and i like their cars do. really. i just want to replace some older models. the 407 is being produced too, right? love that car. the pars is looking ok to for now.

French politicians do not hate Iran, if they did the french car companies wouldn't be in Iran. Have you ever wondered why the french always host alternative Iranian governments. The Iranian officials over the years have always been in leagues with the french. First the shah studied in french schools, khomeini lived outside paris. Now Farah Dibah, Banisadr and countless more not to mention the fact that MEK are now centred in Paris. It is only ever Paris? Maybe the french control Iran and not Britain??? LOL

Stop writing Zionist/american bullshit. you are lying. dena is a car that has nothing to do with any other car. runna the same. you are just a ignorant who reads anti-iranian crap like fox news and other zionist bs media.

Are you serious? runna is just a 206 sedan with a different front. Look to the picture. And the interior is a logan copy.

i saw a 407 a citroen C5 in a picture in this forum. But is seems that these cars don't have many success in Iran.

Is there new C5 too?

The doors and the chassis are the 206 for sure. You can tell from the shape of the doors when you look at the side.

French politicians do not hate Iran, if they did the french car companies wouldn't be in Iran. Have you ever wondered why the french always host alternative Iranian governments. The Iranian officials over the years have always been in leagues with the french. First the shah studied in french schools, khomeini lived outside paris. Now Farah Dibah, Banisadr and countless more not to mention the fact that MEK are now centred in Paris. It is only ever Paris? Maybe the french control Iran and not Britain??? LOL

the qajars live in france, but so did khomeini


the french dont love iran, they dont give a crap, they just care for their profits, same with the rest of them even england and america

Iran to Attend Int'l Car Exhibition in Russia

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's second home-designed passenger car, Runna, is scheduled to be shown in the international car exhibition due to be held in Russia on August 24.


The locally-made car is now in European test centers for further technical and airbag tests.

The Iranian sedan is to be manufactured with 1600cc engine, Euro 4 environment standard and EF7 Dual-Fuel engine.

The compact sedan, in fact, is based on the same platform as Peugeot 206 sedan, which is also built and sold in Iran by IKCO.

Earlier, Iran-Khodro Company (IKCO), the largest car-manufacturer in the Middle-East, announced that it plans to use 1400cc EF4 engine on Runna in a bid to expand its global market and improve Runna's emission standard to Euro V and Euro VI.

EF4 is generally designed based on its sister EF7, while the pistons, rods, crank shaft, valve timing system and crankcase have been partially changed.

Other related systems including cooling system, air supply, exhaust emission, transmission and engine mounting have also received some levels of transformations to let the EF4 engine fit in Runna.

According to IKCO strategic plan, three engines of TU5, EF7 and EF4 are considered for Runna; however the one outfitted with TU5 will hit the market by this September.

Iran makes 0.5 mn vehicles in 4 months

Iranian automakers have produced more than half a million vehicles over a four-month period, which started in late March.


Iran's Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade said the car manufacturers had made 503,997 vehicles between March 21 and July 22, Mehr News Agency reported on Thursday.

It noted that the companies had assembled 438,102 passenger cars over the span -- a figure, which reflected a 1.9-percent increase compared to the same period last year.

The ministry said 54,764 pick-up trucks, 9,186 trucks, 966 minibuses, and 742 buses had also been manufactured by the companies.

Iran's two major car manufacturers, Iran Khodro and Saipa, produced most of the cars, it said.

Iran Khodro Company (IKCO)'s CEO Javad Najmeddin has told Press TV that the auto manufacturer planned to increase its production to 730,000 vehicles a year by the end of 2011 and raise the volume of its exports to more than 600,000 cars by the end of 2016.

Russia, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Ukraine, and Egypt are among the main target markets of the company, according to Najmeddin.

I wonder how IKCO wants to produce 11 new cars in just 7 years! This means basically 2 news cars per year. I am sure that they will built a new truck, a SUV, a coupe, and a small car. Don't know about the rest. Probably limousines, right?

^^ yea, a year ago i remember them saying to make a small suv and a larger one by the end of 2013, and make sedans, coupes and wagons, man i cant wait!!

I hope for a big limousine, like a Camry or so.

New Auto-Manufacturing Hub

A new giant auto manufacturing complex will be established in Tabriz, East Azarbaijan province as the country's third car making hub after Saipa and Iran khodro.

Iranian Cars to Hit Russian Market

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's largest car manufacturer, Iran-Khodro Company (IKCO), has aimed at the Commonwealth of Independent States markets with its Euro IV-approved Dena, Runna, Soren ELX and Samand LX.

Speaking at Moscow's 7th InterAuto Exhibition, IKCO's Deputy CEO for Export Abdolazim Sadian said, "It is now about a year that IKCO has planned to produce and export cars that meet Euro IV standard requirements."

Reminding the significant growth in the Russian economy and its market demand for 2.5 million cars a year, he underlined that IKCO would be able to gain a proper share in the Russian car market by targeting economy and family cars.

"Samand has created a good impression among the people in the CIS countries, and that eases the presence of IKCO cars in this region," he said.

Considering IKCO's presence in the 7th InterAuto Motor Show as positive, Sadian added, "The expo has granted us a good opportunity to meet IKCO former dealers and talk about the company's future plans."

The deputy CEO finally hoped that IKCO would be able to resume its strong presence in CIS region.

405

Source? Dena looks completely different than the 405!! And IKCO said it is based on a new Iranian platform.

well they say the dena is based on samand lx, which is off the 405, anyhow, do you have a source that says it isnt? i would love to hear we have our own car now without a used platform

Yes Samand, Soren and Dena are all from the 405 platform. Sharing the same platform doesnt mean they look the same. The external body is not the platform, its all the under the skin structural stuff like chassis, frame, engine mounting, steering column etc. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_platform

exactly

i looked at wikipedia aswell

So, Dena is basically a crappy car!?

its not crappy, it just uses a similar layout and format and parts such as the puegeot 405 and persia

but on news they said the Dena is based on a new indigenous Iranian platform.

well if there is a legit source then :cheers:
we have to find the source though

I even had a source once, have to find it again.

IKCO Readying to Mass-Produce Micro-Hybrid Passenger Cars


"Hybrid development is a part of IKCO's approach towards modern technology to reduce fossil fuel consumption," the company's CEO, Javad Najmeddin, said.

Hybrid car production is a part of IKCO's strategy to confront the rise in energy prices following the implementation of the Subsidy-Cuts Plan in Iran. IKCO has also earlier boosted production of its CNG vehicles in line with the same policy.

Last year, 55 micro-hybrid Samands were produced, all of which passed different types of tests successfully.

"Start-stop system is the main specification of micro-hybrid cars," Najmeddin said, and further mentioned that the battery, ignition system, instrument panel and the main harness are among the other modified parts and components in micro-hybrid cars, adding that these parts will be mounted on XU7 engines and on EF7 engines in later stages.

Najmeddin reiterated that micro-hybrid Samand shuts down at speeds lower than five kilometers per hour automatically. This is the most advantageous for vehicles which spend significant amounts of time waiting at traffic lights or frequently come to a stop in traffic jams. Two sensors, one on the gearbox and the other on the booster, control stop-start process when stopping and stepping on the clutch to restart.

He finally underscored that IKCO has fulfilled all the related programs and activities and the company will mass produce the car in the near future, while producing taxis that enjoy this system would receive the main focus.

Iran-Khodro Plans to Introduce Soren with Turbocharged Engine

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's largest carmaker, the Iran-Khodro Company (IKCO), announced that it will produce ten thousand Sorens outfitted with EF7 turbocharged engine next year, adding that figure will double in five years.

Javad Najmeddin, IKCO's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), announced that the company has so far produced 11 Sorens with turbocharged engines.

"As soon as EF7 mass-production starts next year, Soren and Dena would enjoy this turbocharged engine," he stated.

The CEO added that this 1700cc engine would be able to produce 155 horsepower and 215 Nm torque. It meets Euro IV standard requirements.

In order to match the car with the engine's high power and torque, the gearbox, engine mountings, air inlet and exhaust system have been optimized.

There has been some changes and modifications to the rods and pistons, spark plugs, smoke valves, cylinder head gasket, cylinder block and exhaust manifold too.

Turbo charged Soren can reach a maximum speed of 210 km/h and it takes it to reach from zero to 100 km/h in about nine seconds.

The CEO finally stated that all the systems of turbocharged Soren will be well-tried in a 20 to 160 thousand kilometer test drive under different climates and road conditions.

on news they said today that iran khodro is building right now a new SUV and a new truck and they are going to be on the dena platform.

ffff when are they going to make a complete new platform?

yes platform usage is common, but i think iran needs to atleast produce a 100% domestic car

dena is off the puegeot rd

sourosh,

they said dena is 100% iranian and was a new platform. so, they are using the dena platform for a truck and suv.

bro dena is based on the samand lx and standard samand which are based on puegeot platforms

show me a source and il believe you

source ke hanooz peyda nakardam, vali peyda mikonam hatman :D

do u mean the tariffs? what about the rest of the country. i am sure we would see a lot of more good cars without this tariffs.

a 10k dollar vehicle is bought for about 40k $.As long as the tariffs exist we wouldn't see real-modern-uptodate cars

how many % is the tariff?

another solution is more dealers in iran, producing these cars in iran, like hyundai, nissan, and mazda.

i would also develop a free trade zone in every big city, like in tehran, shiraz, esfahan, mashhad, and tabriz.

lol u cant make free trade zones in cities that are inland

and even if you could, what would be the point of tariffs then!!?

Abit off topic- but its worth knowing that that tarriffs help our own car industry to develope.

lol u cant make free trade zones in cities that are inland

and even if you could, what would be the point of tariffs then!!?

well, they do it in china.

i would for example reduce tariffs.

@kale pache,

correct, but we will see the positive results in 10-15 years, when IKCO has produced their new 11 cars by then.

and one other is for sure. if we like tariffs, then we should not complain anymore about pollution.

^^ not fairly relevant, the pollution issue is not really about the cars anymore, most cars have fairly low emission in iran today, the issue is over usage, congestion and poor automobile servicing (eg annual emission testing)

Well while we have tariffs,people would buy cheaper and older cars which this causes pollution as you said yourself
If they remove tariffs then no one would buy Iranian cars with these prices so they can't make proper profit.they may even get bankrupt + it's a great profit for the government itself

But there is a good side of it.Iranian companies and factories would be forced to produce better cars with lower prices and there would be a better competition(which Iran is really missing one) and families could enjoy really nice cars.Imagine that a mid-class family who is using a GLX now can ride a car like sonata(safer,cleaner and better)

Well, this is up to IKCO to produce better cars. If people would not by them, then they are doing mistakes then. We have to give IKCO a chance. They are getting better now with Runna and Dena. We have to wait for their new models which would also decrease pollution further. I always say though, as we have many taxis, we should have new models for them. This would again decrease pollution. What about the motorcycle issue? I am hearing they are getting less now?!

Yes, our gasoline quality is increasing and as Sourosh said it is not even that bad anymore. But in general, if we want to be an industrial country, we can't not have this until we see decent cars for the most part. At least in the bigger cities. We just can't have tariffs and good environment at the same time for now. Maybe in 10 years or so.

For now it is how it is and we have to do the best out of it.

I expect Iran to be 100 % different by 2025.

Well, this is up to IKCO to produce better cars. If people would not by them, then they are doing mistakes then. We have to give IKCO a chance. They are getting better now with Runna and Dena. We have to wait for their new models which would also decrease pollution further. I always say though, as we have many taxis, we should have new models for them. This would again decrease pollution. What about the motorcycle issue? I am hearing they are getting less now?!

Yes, our gasoline quality is increasing and as Sourosh said it is not even that bad anymore. But in general, if we want to be an industrial country, we can't not have this until we see decent cars for the most part. At least in the bigger cities. We just can't have tariffs and good environment at the same time for now. Maybe in 10 years or so.

when did i ever say gasoline quality is increasing ? :)

yeah,the gasoline quality is decreasing(some blame the recent pollutions in big cities because of the bad gasoline)

Iran needs small efficient, get around cars like this

And it would need a light cage with strong fiberglass to withstand and good hit from a Pakan.

For the current boxy new cars that have low appeal, I think kits like the following will serve the Iranian people well.

This work of art is a Bentley curved body over the Toyota Supra but something similar can definitely go over a Sepia, ect...

The only opinion that I can give is on the looks depatment as I have no first hand experience. I think Dena looks a lot better but I can imagine my mom liking the Runna more.

2278 toyotas entered the iranian market today


http://www.jamejamonline.ir/newstext.aspx?newsnum=100855097625

در 5ماه نخست امسال
2278دستگاه تويوتا وارد ايران شد
جام جم آنلاين: در پنج ماه نخست امسال دو هزار و 278 دستگاه انواع خودروهاي ساخت شركت تويوتا موتور ژاپن وارد ايران شد.ارزش خودروهاي تويوتا كه وارد ايران شده اند بالغ بر 50 ميليون و 468 هزار و 275 دلار است.

به گزارش ايسنا، بزرگترين محموله وارداتي تويوتا مربوط به فروردين ماه امسال به تعداد 154 دستگاه و به ارزش دو ميليون و 660 هزار و 643 دلار مي*شود. اين محموله از عمان وارد ايران شد.

همچنين در ماههاي فروردين، *ارديبهشت، خرداد، تير و مرداد امسال به ترتيب 455، 466، 344، 360 و 653 *دستگاه انواع محصولات شركت تويوتا وارد ايران شدند. بيشترين حجم واردات تويوتا طي پنج ماه نخست امسال مربوط به ماه مرداد به تعداد 653 دستگاه مي*شود.

بيشترين واردات تويوتا به كشور به تعداد 1047 دستگاه از امارات انجام شده است. همچنين عمان با واردات 884 دستگاه در رده دوم قرار گرفت.

همچنين 175 دستگاه تويوتا از ژاپن، دو دستگاه از اردن، 87 دستگاه از كويت، 68 دستگاه از منطقه آزاد كيش، يك دستگاه از اندونزي، 10 دستگاه از تايوان، يك دستگاه از عربستان و سه دستگاه نيز از منطقه آزاد چابهار در سال جاري وارد ايران شدند.

خودروهاي وارداتي تويوتا به ايران شامل مدلهايي مانند پرويا، وانت دوكابين هايلوكس، ياريس، كمري، كرولا، لكسوس، پرادو، لندكروزر، اوريون، آمبولانس هايس، اف جي كروزر، فورچونر و رافور مي*شوند.

تويوتا، بزرگترين خودروساز ژاپن سال گذشته با انتشار بيانيه*اي از توقف صادرات خود به ايران خبر داد.

كارشناسان دليل اين توقف را پيروي از تحريمهاي بين*المللي عليه ايران عنوان كردند؛ هرچند روزنامه ژاپني نيكي دليل توقف صادرات تويوتا به ايران را لزوما به بحث تحريمهاي بين*المللي مربوط ندانست.

صادرات تويوتا به ايران در سال 2008 به اوج خود يعني حدود چهار هزار دستگاه رسيده بود. با اين وجود به نظر مي*رسد عملا تحريم ايران از سوي تويوتا با گذشت چند ماه به شكست انجاميده است.

^^
This unholy monstrosity of a "car" is the work of the Devil and anyone having anything to do with it must be whipped until the evil is out of their soul. The car must be stoned to death then burned then crushed before being lunched into the center of the sun.

^^ :lol: What was this car originally? A Pride!?

^^ :lol: What was this car originally? A Pride!?I'm almost sure that it is, how can they make a such remake of a Pride? :lol:

its not a pride

^^ What is it then?

its heavily modified hard to tell

certainly not a pride though

its either puegeot pars or samand lx

It looks kind of small to be either of those compared with the people around it. Also the doors, door handles and windows look like pride ones.
