Iran’s major automaker SAIPA is implementing 81 projects to localize high-tech auto parts, hoping to curb the sector’s dependency on foreign suppliers.
The projects have been established in collaboration with the Defense Ministry, Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and the Iranian Army’s Air Force, the automaker’s website Saipanews.com reported.
According to Daryoush Golmohammadi, SAIPA’s deputy for strategic planning, 28 joint ventures are being implemented along with industrial units, affiliated to Defense Ministry.
“So far, seven sophisticated electronic car components have been localized and are ready for mass production,” he said.
Golmohammadi noted that SAIPA is producing 26 advanced parts with the help of IRGC’s Aerospace Force.
“The production of these items is undergoing tests and will enter the production line, as soon as the prototypes are tested and verified,” he said.
