Iranian Specialists Make Two-Seater Electric Car
“In this exhibition, we will present the technological achievements of companies stationed at the park,” said Head of Semnan Science and Technology Park Mohsen Nazari.
He added that a 2-seater electric car will be displayed at the booth of Semnan Science and Technology Park, noting, “Also, the electric bicycle is another achievement of companies stationed at this park which will be presented in the exhibition.”
“The achievements of active companies in the fields of IT and digital economy will also be presented,” Nazari said.
Electric vehicles are more efficient, and that combined with the electricity cost means that charging an electric vehicle is more inexpensive than filling petrol or diesel for your travel requirements. Using renewable energy sources can make the use of electric vehicles more eco-friendly.
Earlier this month, a senior Iranian official announced the country’s plans to use home-made electric vehicles for public transportation.
“Given the design and manufacturing of the sample of electric cars made by Jetco (Tara Electric Car) ) and the Research and Innovation Center of Saipa Group (Saina Electric and Aria Electric cars) and the improvement of the scientific and technical capacity of these companies as well as the production of high-tech parts by the Iranian knowledge-based companies, the country is ready for production and industrialization of these cars,” said Seyed Shahriar Zeini, the director of the new automotive technologies development group of the headquarters for the development of space technologies and advanced transportation of the Iranian vice-presidency for science, technology and knowledge-based economy.
He added that thanks to the continued follow-ups of the automotive group and cooperation of the advisor to the interior minister, a memorandum of understanding was inked for using electric cars by the Taxi Driving Union of the interior ministry to upgrade and equip public transportation with electric taxis.
According to Zeini, the head of the Taxi Driving Union has also announced his readiness to implement a contract in this regard and purchase these taxis.
