TEHRAN (FNA)- Kazakhstan has started using the Iranian passenger car, Samand, in its transportation system, Iranian automaker Iran-Khodro Company (IKCO) said.


"We have studied various cars of different brands for this purpose and came to this conclusion that IKCO Samand has a firm body and is the best choice for the weather condition and environment of Kazakhstan," President of Kazakhstan's taxi service organization Valarie Seliznov said.

"Although cars from Asia, Europe and America have turned Kazakhstan's automotive market into a very competitive one, we would rather use IKCO cars in our transport system", he said.

Valarie Seliznov believes that high quality and fair price, makes Samand a suitable car for the Kazakhstanis, both for private and public uses.

In order to expand its export to CIS region, IKCO has recently made agreements with the related countries. There is another letter of understanding that facilitates investment in CIS countries and provides tariff facilities in the customs union of these countries. These agreements would run up IKCO export to Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Russia, Belarus and other CIS countries.
