Khodrocar – Hashem Yekkehzareh, said in the Fifth Iran Automotive Industry International Conference: "While we have few painting units in the country, why do you force the car makers to build a new one? Another question: How is that possible that Mercedes Benz and Hyundai didn’t pass our standards?”
He continued: "Iran Khodro and Saipa have no objection about a third pole in automotive industry.”
Yekkezareh clarified: "Iran Khodro and Saipa have the capacity to produce electric vehicles but the important factor in the "demand”. This demand depends on the government.”
