It is about 15 years that the government is working on worn out vehicle scrappage scheme and each time, government face an obstacle. Now, some private companies re-launch the issue of golden cards for the renovation of worn-out cars for 25,000 vehicles but members of scrappage forum says that the government has no plan for it.

The private sector in automotive industry developed and grew so fast that they were able to increase their market share in comparison to the last year. However, the question is that why they are not supported?

The ban of vehicle import will lead to unemployment of thousands of businesses and also about scrappage centers.

Deadline of foreign automakers in Iran is until July, 30; It is not clear what will happen to Iran’s automotive industry without the foreigner’s presence. The experts say that Iran needs to improve itself in car production and import.

It has been two months that there are discussions about car smuggling, a subject, which has different numbers, from 5 thousand to 19 thousand.

Farhad Ehteshamzad, Chairman of Iranian Automobile Importers Association said that according to the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, vehicle import registration website will be opened tomorrow.

Deputy Minister of Industry announced the closure of registration website for car imports until further notice.

It has been three weeks that registration website for car imports is closed and it seems that it is a good way to force foreign carmakers to start the production in Iran.
