L90 agreement to be signed in weeks
TEHRAN, May 15 (MNA) -– The agreement to produce in Iran the French passenger car L90 is expected to be signed within the next two weeks, noted a lawmaker here on Monday.

The French car producer Renault has consented to conditions set by Iran which provide for the export of 20 percent of the cars produced here, noted Mohammad-Reza Sajjadian, member to the Industries and Mines Commission of Majlis.

Meanwhile, in a report given to the Majlis (parliament) by Manuchehr Manteqi, the managing director of Iran’s major auto producer Iran Khodro Industrial Group (IKCO), the official put the profits earned by his company in the current year at Rls.5400 billion.

Daily production of Iranian made automobiles at the car company is expected to rise from the current 1,800 cars to 2,000, he also explained.

Being the largest car producer in the Middle East region, IKCO presides over more than 100 large domestic auto part producers affiliated to it.

Its a big leap forward for Irans automotive industry imo

Have to explain why... they have slightly redesigned the back end so its not so ugly and itl apeal to the Iranian market. Its a fresh design and has a modern engine that polloutes less...

For some reason Iranians have this stigma about buying injection cars because they say that if it breaks down no one can fix it so thats why ppl stuck with carberator engines for so long, ofcourse there was the fact the government didnt allow free trade of vehicles. Now most new cars have modern DOHC Injection engines, they run cleaner and with the higher demand I can garauntee garages across Iran have already modernised to cope for this new market.

I hope Iran gets the deal to manufacture Mercedes passenger vehicles... as there are romours Mercedes and BMW are looking for alternative places to manufacture for cost reasons, Iran does manufacture its vehicles to a very high standard, especially in comparison to China... Iran is on the same scale as VW (before they opened their new plant), Skoda, Seat etc... european standard production, and with the right management high specification executive cars can be produced in time.

Only one thing that NEEDS to be fixed are Iranians driving habbits, the government needs to crack down and enforce to laws... they havent done so in the past 30 years ffs. theres no use if your nation is going to manufacture high quality cars if people are going to drive like cattle. Also with alternative transport i.e. finishing off the metro, a decent bus system etc the traffic will be calmer.

The new Renault range are an excellant addition to Irans automotive construction profile

Not at all!! This will be cheaper than imported Mercedes. The people who can afford these cars will buy them. An E350 is what, £35k-40k. Lets say 60,000,000 Toman... thats not so bad, the Nissan Maxima was 55mil when it was first released in Iran and they were all over the place.

Fiat Sienna to be introduced in Sept.

TEHRAN, May 29 (MNA) -- The pilot production of Sienna by Fiat is to kick off on September 22, 2006, the Persian service of the student news agency ISNA reported here on Monday.

The B-class sedan is designed to compete with L90 that will hit the nation’s roads sometime this year.

Turkey’s branch of Fiat, Tofas, will be involved in the €300m venture with Iran’s Benro, aiming to make 200,000 cars in two stages.

Other models and development of side industries agreed upon in 2005 are to follow thereafter with some dual-fuel versions.

Palio, Adventure and Strada will assume hatchback, station wagon, and pickup styles in that order while Doblo and Multipla can perform on both gasoline and CNG. The price tag is expected to range from Rls.90m to Rls.170m.

1,000 E350s to go on sale in Iran this year

TEHRAN, May 30 (MNA) -- Mercedes Benz plans to produce 2,500 passenger cars per annum in Iran and preliminary assembly work has been underway since May 9, the executive director of Top Khodro Company said here on Tuesday.

“About 1,000 E350 models are going to be available to the market by yearend, and the first cars are to roll off the assembly line by (the Iranian month of) Shahrivar (September-October),” Ali Jafari stated, adding that experts forecast demand for Mercedes Benzes to hit 5,000 to 8,000 in the near future.

In addition, the Setareh Iran Company has assumed responsibility for after-sales services, and there is at least one modern service shop in every major city of Iran, he pointed out.

Pilot production started last year in SKD (semi-knocked down) form and, with 1,744 parts to assemble this year, the 80-percent complete body and chassis line will reach the CKD (completely-knocked down) stage soon.

Mercedes Benz production in Iran is a 50-50 joint venture between the German car maker and Top Khodro, which is a subdivision of Iran Khodro Company (IKCO). Iran Khodro Diesel, another subsidiary of IKCO, takes care of all the investment for the Iranian side.

It should be noted that the paint jobs are being done in Iran, and, depending on the options offered, the price tag of the automobile may reach €160,000. Financing is available up to 80% at an interest rate of 20-21 percent.
