The ’national car engine’ went on display for the first time at the Fourth International Seminar on Car Engines here on Wednesday.Several car industry experts from Iran and other countries are participating in the two-day seminar, which opened Wednesday.
The first Iran-made engine will go on production from next year with 60 percent of the parts produced domestically. This figure will rise to 90 percent within three years.
Nirou-Moharrekeh Company, a subsidiary of Iran’s largest carmaker Iran Khodro, has manufactured this engine in cooperation with a German company.
One of the main technical advantages of Iran’s 1.7-liter engine is the low consumption and dual-fuel system.
