TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran has the world's tenth largest auto making industry, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) said.
According to the UNIDO's International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics 2008, Japan has the largest auto industry in the world, followed by the United States and Germany.
Mexico, France, South Korea, Britain, Canada, Spain and Iran ranked fourth to tenth, followed by Sweden, India, Brazil, Italy and Indonesia. Among the developing nations, Iran's auto industry is placed third after Mexico and South Korea.
Iran Khodro Company (IKCO) is the largest car maker in Iran and the Middle East.
It exports the country's first national vehicle, Samand, to a number of countries, including Belarus, Russia, Syria, Turkey, Tajikistan, Vietnam and Venezuela.
SAIPA and Pars Khodro are also among major Iranian automakers which have participated in joint projects with France's Citroen and Renault, Japan's Nissan and South Korea's KIA Motors.
Iran Khodro Company, a major industrial manufacturer, produces cars for the domestic and export markets. Founded in 1962, Iran Khodro was originally called 'Iran National' before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Saipa, established in 1966, assembled the two-cylinder Citroen mini passenger car, the Jyane, and manufactured licensed versions of the original Renault 5, Renault 21 and Kia Pride.
Production of Saipa Pride continued until 2005. They later introduced an updated versions based on the Pride called the Saipa 141 while continuing to sell their version of the Pride under the names Saba and Nasim.
Saipa also produces the Citroen Xantia under license as well as assembling sedan models of the previous generation Kia Rio using parts imported from South Korea.
In 2000, Saipa launched its own design, the 701 Caravan minivan, which was face-lifted in 2003.
In addition to the privatization plans, car makers have been asked to scale down production of gasoline-fueled vehicles and increase production of cars with dual-fuel and natural gas engines. Sixty percent of passenger cars produced this year will use natural gas as fuel or will be dual-fuel, and the remaining 40 percent will run on regular gasoline.
Experts say private car makers can more efficiently deliver many goods or services than government due to competition. In general, it is argued that over time this will lead to lower car prices, improved quality, more choices, less red tape and quicker delivery.
