Fall of dual-burner production

Statistics released by the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade show that the production of dual-fuel vehicles in the country has dropped to less than 8,000 units. According to these statistics, during the first half of this year, only 7,429 dual-fuel vehicles were produced in the country, which shows a decrease of 32% compared to the same period last year. All dual-burn passenger cars are Iran’s share, and other automakers have no role in this statistic. According to statistics, in the first half of this year, only Peugeot 405, Peugeot Pars and Samand were produced in dual fuel. In the meantime, Samand has the highest circulation, which has produced five thousand and six units.
The declining trend of dual-fuel production is while in the mid-1980s, and with the requirement of the Ministry of Industry, the dominant share of the production of the two major automakers in the country were dual-fuel models. At that time, the government decided to give priority to dual-fuel vehicles for two reasons. First, gasoline was rationed, and given the lower price of gas, the government wanted to reduce citizens’ concerns about the cost of fuel for their cars. The second reason was related to the huge gas reserves of the country. Iran has long been recognized as the world’s second largest gas producer, so the government relied on this position to turn gas into the predominant fuel in cars to reduce the burden of consuming gasoline (which needed to be imported).

For a while, the popularity of dual-fuel vehicles increased, and the government hoped that its project would be implemented, however, major problems continued and dual-fuel vehicles were in a downward trend in production and demand. The shortage of gas stations, on the one hand, and technical problems, on the other, sparked the dual-burners from the deck to the carpet, and while the Ministry of Industry wanted to dual-burn all domestically-produced passenger cars, the situation turned and the situation was reversed. With the decline in demand for dual-fuelers and, of course, the change in the policies of the Ministry of Industry, the cars in question were gradually pushed to the margins and gasoline came back. Even now, according to the latest statistics, dual-burners have a very poor circulation and their share of the total passenger products of the country’s automotive industry during the first half of this year does not even reach two percent.

Despite this very poor circulation, there are concerns about the supply of dual-fuel gas in the winter. This is due to the fact that the authorities say that we will face a shortage of gas in the winter, so some CNG stations may be temporarily closed. In this case, it is likely that the long queues at the gas stations formed will be a nuisance for owners of dual-fuel vehicles. Due to the fact that the production of dual-fuel vehicles has been declining sharply in recent years, little investment has been made in the installation of CNG stations, and therefore their number is still limited. On this account, the decline in dual-fuel production seems reasonable, because if their circulation is to grow regardless of infrastructure, the events of the mid-1980s will be repeated.
