Renault Sandero, which will be released under the name B90 in Iran, will be produced 40% locally, Donyaye Khodro quoted him as saying.
Pars Khodro, one of Iran’s major auto manufacturers, started trial production of the Renault Sandero in May. The company's CEO Nasser Aghamohammadi said the Sandero will be publicly released by August.
