Fatemi ‌ Amin plans to produce electric cars

The issue of electric cars was not far from the eyes of Reza Fatemi Amin, the Minister of Silence of the 13th government. In his plans before gaining the vote of confidence of the parliament, he set short-term and medium-term goals in this field.

At that time, accelerating projects related to the development of electric vehicles was one of his goals until the end of 1400.

Increase production share Electric and hybrid cars Was also one of the minister’s proposed medium-term plans (ایسنا).

But are the plans of the Ministry of Silence practical in this regard? Given Turkey’s experience, can we hope to launch a Tesla production line in Iran? Experts answer both questions in the negative.

Schemes only to raise funds!

Ali Khaksari, expert automobile industry “Such slogans are unprecedented,” he told Tejarat News about the Ministry of Silence’s plans to produce electric vehicles. While the Ministry of Silence has neither the ability nor the authority to realize them.

The Allameh Tabatabai University professor adds: The Ministry of Silence should deal with matters related to policy-making and supervision in the field of production and import, and entering into details is not within the authority of this institution.

He continues: The ministers of silence in different governments depend on Iran Khodro and Saipa and the “partisans”. The sole purpose of making such impractical and unprofessional promises is to seek resources and financial support for the industry.

He emphasizes: there is the necessary capacity to produce all kinds of quality cars in the country; Provided that the Ministry of Silence and the current actors leave the automotive industry.

Loss without result of financial resources

“The world has realized the importance of electric cars, and carmakers in different countries have started to produce more and more of these cars,” said the car industry expert.

Khaksari adds: By about 2030, the production of electric vehicles will exceed gasoline. Some countries even intend to ban the production of second-class cars.

He continues: “But in Iran, the entry of officials such as Minister Samat into this issue shows the interplay of policy and production, and the result can only be a waste of financial resources.”

“In order for such issues to be effective, the Ministry of Silence must make policy and leave the details of production to the automakers,” he said. On the other hand, the existing monopoly in this area must be broken.

Is Tesla coming to Iran?

Emad Jafari, an automotive expert, also told Tejarat News that launching a Tesla production line in Iran is impossible. According to him, international sanctions and weak internal management prevent such a dream from coming true.

“Iranian officials do not have a clear understanding of how to deal with foreign companies and the requirements of international trade, and their view of the issues is short-lived,” he said.

He adds: “Usually, with the change of officials in the country, the programs are stopped; As a result, companies can not plan for a long-term presence in Iran.

Good opportunity for the Turkish market for foreign companies

Jafari continues: “Now, considering the devaluation of the lira, being in Turkey is very economical for European and American companies.”

He adds: “They can offer their products at reasonable prices in the Turkish market and the region by establishing production lines in this country.”

“Even if the sanctions are lifted, given the internal weaknesses, we can not hope for such cooperation in Iran,” he said.

We will not become a regional hub!

Jafari adds: “In the recent past, there were parts manufacturers in the country who cooperated with international companies to produce their products and sent the results to European markets.”

He continues: Many of their activities are now limited to the domestic market; Because the Ministry of Silence and other government agencies, instead of supporting exporters, create obstacles for their activities.

This expert car He emphasizes: In these circumstances, it is not possible to compare Iran with other countries. Iran can not become a regional hub in the field of electric vehicle production.

Jafari says: now a number of electric motorcycles have been sold to the people, but the necessary infrastructure to charge them has not yet been formed in the country. In this situation, how can the dream statistics provided by 1404 be achieved?

Iranian automakers ignore the production of electric cars

According to Tejarat News, Automakers Iranians do not have significant activity in the field of production of electric and hybrid cars, but this issue has become very important in the world.

According to Bloomberg, in just one order to Tesla, the world’s largest electric car purchase order, a customer requested the production of 100,000 electric cars worth $ 4.2 billion.
