IKCO breaks production record in Iraq

TEHRAN (ISNA)- The number of vehicles produced by the largest Iranian car-maker Iran Khodro in Iraq site has surpassed 10,000.

Iran Khodro Deputy CEO for Export, Saeed Tafazzoli said though the crisis in Iraq has been hampering export of spare parts to the war-torn country, IKCO managed to produce over 10,000 vehicles in Iraq site over the past 16 months.

48 Runna, 48 Samad, 1344 Peugeout 405 and 8304 Peugeot Pars were produced and sent through SKD shipment to Iraq.

We have already allocated the second production line of Iraq site to Arisan pickup, so the vehicle would be added to IKCO products portfolio in the near future, he said.

Tafazzoli went on saying that Iraq site produces 30 vehicles daily, adding that the figure would increase in the second half of current Iranian calendar year (started on March 21, 2015).

He added that during the second half of the year, the Iraq site would produce at least 15,000 vehicles: 5,000 Samand, 5,000 Peugueot 405 and 5,000 Arisan pick up.

He said based on new agreements, IKCO is set to produce Tondar 90 and Dongfeng in various models in Iraq site.

Iran Khodro began its operation in Iraq on April 2014 but its mass production began about 4 months later, he said.
