Deal to Replace 10,000 Old Taxis

Iran's major carmaker Iran Khodro (IKCO) and Iran Taxi Union have signed a deal to renovate the capital's aging public transportation fleet, in the latest push to combat air pollution in the city. 
Early this week, IKCO agreed to renovate 10,000 cabs in Tehran's taxi fleet in the current Iranian year (started March 21).
Morteza Zameni, the head of taxi union, said that although this is a positive move for the capital, a more tactful and effective solution need to be found for the old taxis.
