The latest data related to the production of automobiles in Iran shows that Saipa, the second-largest carmaker in the country, saw a decrease in its output in the nine months to late December.
Saipa produced a total of 225,380 cars in Iran from March 21 to December 21, 2022.
The figure is a 3.5% drop from 217,524 cars in the same period last year.
A report by the Iranian exchange organization shows that Saipa's combined output of cars and pickup trucks would reach nearly 420,000 units in the year to late March, down by nearly a half from the company's own annual production estimates.
