VW to build gas combustion cars in Iran

TEHRAN, December 19, 2016

German auto giant Volkswagen plans to manufacture gas combustion motorcars in Iran, state news agency IRNA reported on Sunday.

Director of the CNG project in the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC) Ali Mehrabi said the contract envisaged a ban on import of CNG equipment when the German company initiates the production line of gas combustion motor-cars.

He said that foreign companies have welcomed construction of equipment and gas combustion vehicles in Iran. “Foreign companies should set up factory in Iran to produce and sell equipment in the country,” he added.

He noted that 70 per cent of the CNG equipment is secured by Iranian manufacturers.

“The CNG equipment are mostly imported from European states Italy, Germany, Russia and South Korea and Argentina and the equipment imported from South Korea has been indigenized and Russia has called for production of equipment in Iran,” he added.
