Now two big automakers-Saipa and Iran Khodro-have received more than 40 percent agreement 16 of which are in manufacturing process and so making new pole in auto industry is not a new issue.”

He added, “Now there are not any legal barriers in building products and making new phases in auto making as anything economic would have no barrier in auto industry.”

He reiterated, “Expert work force, availability of ingredients and parts and appropriate on road costs should be considered in order to make new automaking phase.”
