Today, Iran is the world’s 20th largest automaker and the largest automaker in Asia, with annual production of over 1.2 million people, according to news TV.
The automotive industry is considered a domestic strategic industry, but it needs the parts manufacturing industry to support its movement and production cycle.
Therefore, the manufacturing of parts is extremely important as the basis for many industrial units.
Parts manufacturing is completely separate from the automotive industry in terms of expertise, facilities and infrastructure, but is a member of the same family. This is because producing excellent, high quality parts leads to the production of high quality vehicles, which in turn improves the safety of the vehicle and its residents.
The economic power of any country after military forces, which are considered an important deterrent tool to protect the country and its territory, is extremely important.
After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, sanctions were a key component of the US policy against Iran.
When the Trump administration reordered sanctions against Iran in August 2018 after a short break, it booked the first hammer blows in Washington’s automobile and parts manufacturing industry, due to its important role in the country’s economy.
When the sector all appeared as if set for long hibernation, domestic manufacturers got caught up in action and began producing parts that Iran relied on assembling cars.
Currently, Iran is a country with an indigenous automotive sector with local capabilities to assemble semi-knockdown (SKD) and fully knockdown (CKD) kits.
