Automotive Parts Localization Technology Center Launched

Iran has launched a tech center specialized in auto parts production to speed up localization efforts in the automotive industry and thwart the limiting effects of US sanction.
Vice Presidential Office for Science and Technology, in collaboration with Iran’s auto parts maker Crouse Company, has invested €3 million in the tech center, SNN reported.
It has been awhile since the innovation center became operational, but it was officially inaugurated by Vice President Sorena Sattari on Saturday.
Based near Tehran and spread over 2,500 square meters, the center has absorbed 250 professionals and 30 university students of different majors who are working on over 120 tech projects related to automotive and parts industry.
Tech units at the center have so far designed three types of central control units, an airbag system and numerous electronic components. Work is also on track for the design of radar and navigation systems.
Speaking at the inauguration event, Sattari said innovation in design, optimization and development are the most prominent criteria for turning the domestic auto industry into a dynamic sector, which cannot be realized unless the growing technology ecosystem is involved.
