Iran said it has registered a 1.9% increase in car production during the first four months of the current Iranian year (started on March 21).
Iran's Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade said the car manufacturers had made 503,997 vehicles between March 21 and July 22.
It noted that the companies had assembled 438,102 passenger cars over the span — a figure, which reflected a 1.9-percent increase compared to the same period last year.
The ministry said 54,764 pick-up trucks, 9,186 trucks, 966 minibuses, and 742 buses had also been manufactured by the companies.
Iran's two major car manufacturers, Iran Khodro Company (IKCO) and Saipa, produced most of the cars, it said.
