Iran's automotive industry is stuck under a fence of outdated car manufacturing platforms that have been in use for 30 years! A car industry expert in an interview with ISNA: the fuel consumption of local cars cannot even compete with low‑economy foreign cars. Government control of the automotive industry, political disputes and interference with international communication have caused a decline in automotive industry efficiency. Modern cars in the Iranian market are limited to assembling some Chinese models and have no ties with the world's leading car manufacturers. The best‑selling local cars are products from France from three decades ago, which are no longer produced in any country.
