Arian Diesel Unveils Automatic JAC 12-Ton Truck at Press Conference

At a press conference on the sidelines of the unveiling ceremony for the automatic JAC 12-ton truck, Saeid Mahmoudi, CEO of Arian Diesel, announced that production of 1,000 to 1,500 units is planned for the next year, with sales set to begin in spring.

Regarding the localization of this truck, Mahmoudi stated that initial localization would be at 20%, but with the addition of body and paint production lines, this figure is expected to exceed 30%.

On the issue of foreign currency allocation, Mahmoudi emphasized that higher localization facilitates easier currency allocation and enhances the company's priority in receiving funds. However, due to the absence of NIMA-rate foreign currency, the company must procure funds through the Currency and Gold Exchange Market. He noted that the current allocation process for automotive companies takes nearly twice as long as before.

Regarding pricing, Mahmoudi stated that the cost of the JAC 12-ton truck will be determined based on its technical specifications, market conditions, and competitor pricing.

After-Sales Service & Spare Parts Supply

Mohammad Amin Razvankhah, After-Sales Service Manager at Arian Diesel, highlighted the company's outstanding performance in spare parts supply and distribution. He noted that Arian Diesel has achieved an on-time supply index of 98%, meaning that out of every 100 requests, 98 are fulfilled immediately.

He further stated that the industry average for this index is 70%, while Arian Diesel maintains an inventory control index of 18 months, ensuring a stock of spare parts sufficient for 18 months of network demand.

Sales and Financing Plans

Ebrahim Parvizi, Sales Manager at Arian Diesel, announced that the company is planning to offer the JAC 12-ton truck through both cash and leasing options. He emphasized that this model can play a key role in renewing the country's aging fleet, leading to fuel optimization and lower transportation costs.

According to Parvizi, the JAC 12-ton truck is suitable for transporting various types of goods, including dairy products, protein products, steel profiles, and polystyrene foam (EPS).
