Tehran, YJC. Bayatian has said that Iranian car manufacturers tend not to catch up with current international standards.
Member of the Majlis Industries and Mines Committee Board of
Directors in interview with Tasnim news agency stated "Some car manufacturing
managers state that their products are of low quality because of the low
quality of the material. I believe that such claims are not justified and serve
rather as an excuse for not carrying out practical measures to improve the
quality of cars manufactured inside the country.”
"During a short term parts were produced for a less price in
China than in Iran. That brought the situation when many part manufacturing
firms inside the country were shut down or had to work below their official
capacity. This caused many a great damage to the country’s entire car
manufacturing industry,” Mohammad Bayatian maintained.
He then added "If we put our efforts into activating
domestic part manufacturing firms, no doubt cars will grow in quality in the future. I believe that the
material used for making parts are often of low quality which ahs also resulted
in low-quality products.”
Bayatian maintained "Domestic car manufacturers are not able
to compete with imported products. If the tariff on car import is revoked, then
we must stop low-quality Chinese cars being imported.”
