The period going from April 2014 to March 2015 roughly corresponds to the year 1393 in the Persian calendar, so finally Iran gets its Full Year article. The big news this year is the return in form of French manufacturer Peugeot. The loosening up of its collaboration with General Motors has meant it is no longer obliged to dump Iran from its world map, and that’s a big deal: combined production of the Peugeot Pars and 405, basically two variants of the same 1987-born nameplate, has shot up 58% year-on-year to reach over 265,000 units. That’s enough to topple the Saipa Pride from its pedestal. The Peugeot 206 for its part is up almost 3-fold and the Iran Khodro Samand up 53%, both nameplate back above 100,000 annual units. The Iran Khodro Dena lands makes its first appearance in the ranking at #9.
