Iran and Russia have formalized a memorandum aimed at expanding the export of Iranian-manufactured automobiles. Industry observers note that Russia represents a promising market for these vehicles, while also emphasizing the need to raise product quality to boost competitiveness on a broader international stage. The discussion highlights that cars sold domestically are reliable, yet exporters must push for manufacturing upgrades to sustain growth in overseas markets.
In Iran, the leading auto producer is Iran Khodro, commonly known as IKCO. The company has built a diverse lineup, with the Samand sedan standing out as one of its most recognizable models. The Samand traces its roots to the Peugeot 405 platform, and IKCO has leveraged this heritage while pursuing modernization to meet evolving global standards and buyer expectations.
