Financial Tribune - Automakers Iran Khodro (IKCO) and SAIPA are expected to end the production of two low-quality cars, Peugeot 405 and Pride, which have been made in Iran for decades.

“IKCO’s Peugeot 405 and SAIPA’s Pride will not be produced as of mid-June,” the national Traffic Police chief, General Kamal Hadianfar, said at a press conference on Tuesday, IRIB News reported.
