if you can find an exact breakdown of which vehicles are produced the most, please share, I'd be interested to read. But as things stand, I dont think this is enough to meet Iran's internal demand let alone export1.3 million is all vehicles but Iran 's commercial side(buses, trucks,etc) is much smaller than the passenger vehicles...This year they finally allowed $ 1 billion dollars of auto imports untill they can ramp up to 1.6 million next year..Defence industry came to the help of auto industry to design in house airbags, ECUs etc to bypass the sanctions..production recovered as a result.
Iran has a population comparable to Turkey, so around 85 million, let's jus say that it breaks down to 20 million families/households If people replaced their cars on average every 10 years, you would need at least 2 million cars a year, excluding commercial vehicles.
I think it's safe to say that you need to at least double this production.
It means each car was sold for 10.000 USD, very, very cheapIranian Minister of Industry, Mine, and Trade Reza Fatemi Amin said that Iran and Belarus have signed an agreement for exports of some 45,000 Iranian cars to the country within three years.
.......
Speaking to reporters after a cabinet session on Wednesday, Fatemi Amin noted that the agreement was worth $450 million.
