Austria’s ABL is in a joint venture with an Iranian company (unnamed) to produce fuel-efficient car engines, said Industries Minister Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh.
“ABL research center and an Iranian firm specialized in designing car engines signed a memorandum last year, resulting in a prototype of the fuel-efficient car engine that will be unveiled soon,” Nematzadeh was quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency. He did not say whether the domestic car engine company is a subsidiary of the two major auto producers IKCO or SAIPA.
The minister, speaking on the sidelines of a meeting with Austrian Federal Finance Minister, Hans Jorg Schelling, who this week headed a delegation of financial and economic officials to Iran, said mass production of the fuel-efficient engines would commence in two years.
The production site is under construction in Qazvin Province – in northern Iran – he said, noting “a three-cylinder engine will be used in a future vehicle” to reduce fuel consumption and help protect the environment. Name of the “future vehicle” and other details were not available.
Negotiations have been held with the Association of the Austrian Vehicle Industry to import auto parts for mass production.
Similar talks have also been held with Germany to manufacture Euro-6 engines.
Austria to Help Produce Efficient Engines
2017
TEHRAN- Iran’s Saipa Group unveiled the country’s first domestically manufactured 3-cylinder, 1.0L EU6 engine family, on Sunday, IRNA reported.
The unveiling ceremony was attended by Iranian Industry Minister Mohammadreza Nematzadeh, Iran's Department of Environment Chief Masoumeh Ebtekar, Vice President for Science and Technology Affairs Sorena Sattari, and some other Iranian officials.
Calling the manufactured engine one of the achievements of implementation of JCOPA, commonly called the nuclear deal, Nematzadeh said that the affiliated contract for manufacturing this engine was signed in Austria two year ago when he had traveled to the European country to attend Iran-Austria Joint Economic Committee meeting held after 10 years.
As the operator of this project Mojtaba Mirsoheil said addressing the ceremony, the manufactured product will lead to economizing on fuel consumption as much as $6 billion per annum.
