==History and development==

===Name===
The word ''khodro'' ({{lang|fa|خودرو}}) means "automobile" in [[Persian language|Persian]], hence Iran Khodro means "Iran Automobile".

===Founding===
Iran Khodro was founded on August 29, 1962.

===Structure===
Iran Khodro Industrial Group (IKCO) is a public [[joint stock company]] with the objective of creation and management of factories to manufacture various types of vehicles and parts as well as selling and exporting them.

===Size and production===
The company has become the largest vehicle manufacturer in the [[Middle East]], [[Central Asia]] and [[North Africa]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.iccim.ir/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=275&Itemid=53 |title=Iran Khodro Rail Industries Factory Inaugurated |publisher=En.iccim.ir |date=2008-12-28 |access-date=2010-04-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110513171714/http://en.iccim.ir/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=275&Itemid=53 |archive-date=2011-05-13 }}</ref> In Iran, it is the largest vehicle manufacturing company, having an average share of 65 percent of domestic vehicle production.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://english.farsnews.ir/newstext.php?nn=8811111604 |title=Fars News Agency :: Iran-Khodro to Unveil Peugeot 207i in February |publisher=English.farsnews.ir|date=2010-01-31 |access-date=2010-04-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120217200653/http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8811111604 |archive-date=2012-02-17 }}</ref>

===Products and relationships===
Iran's automobile production crossed the 1 million mark in 2005. Iran Khodro is one of the largest car manufacturers in [[Asia]]. It has established [[joint-ventures]] with foreign partners on 4 continents.
For more than three decades, Iran Khodro produced the [[Paykan]], a car developed from the [[Rootes Group]]'s [[Rootes Arrow]] range, best known as the [[Hillman Hunter]]. Paykan saloon car production was discontinued in 2005, almost thirty years after the end of Arrow production (latterly as the Chrysler Hunter) in [[United Kingdom|Britain]]. A [[pickup truck|pick-up]] version was still in production until 2015.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ellis |first=Eric |url=https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/09/18/8386173/index.htm?postversion=2006091209 |title=Made In Iran - September 18, 2006 |publisher=Money.cnn.com |date=2006-09-12 |access-date=2010-04-18}}</ref> Bardo Pick-up, [[pickup truck|pick-up]] version of Paykan, will be replaced by a new [[pickup truck|pick-up]] called the [[IKCO Arisun|Arisun]] which is related to the [[Samand]].<ref>{{cite web|title=IKCO New Products Replace Old Ones|url=http://www.ikcopress.com/EN/News.aspx?docID=13202|access-date=29 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310083308/http://www.ikcopress.com/EN/News.aspx?docID=13202|archive-date=10 March 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Iranian-designed IKCO [[Samand]] replaced the dated [[Paykan]] as Iran's "national car", and featured a partly Iranian-designed CNG/petrol dual-fuel engine in its Soren variant.

The firm has a long-term relationship with European and Asian manufacturers including [[PSA Peugeot Citroën]], manufacturing and assembling a number of models under license from these firms. In 2009, Peugeot 206, Peugeot Pars, Peugeot 405, Peugeot Roa, and [[Samand]] sedans were IKCO's export-bound cars sent to Azerbaijan, Iraq, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Syria and Afghanistan.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iran-daily.com/1388/3476/html/economy.htm |title=IKCO exports double |website=www.iran-daily.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090921191714/http://www.iran-daily.com/1388/3476/html/economy.htm |archive-date=September 21, 2009}}</ref> As at 2012, IKCO products incorporate 5-10 percent of components imported from [[France]].

By the end of 2012, Peugeot cut its relations with Iran Khodro due to the [[international sanctions against Iran]]. Four years later, in 2016, after reaching [[Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]] between Iran and [[E3+3]], Iran Khodro and Peugeot decided to make a 50%-50% joint venture named [[IKAP]] to start the relations again.

[[Renault Pars]] is in charge of the engineering, quality control, parts supply, logistics, managing sales policies as well as marketing and customer services for Renault products in Iran and IKCO is one of its main shareholders that produces Tondar for the domestic market. Renault Pars is a joint venture, 51 percent of which belongs to Renault of France. Forty-nine percent of Renault Pars' shares is jointly held by [[Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran|Iran's Industrial Development and Renovation Organization]], IKCO and [[SAIPA Group|Saipa]]. The agreement to form this joint venture was signed in March 2004.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.just-auto.com/news/france-renault-sets-up-iranian-joint-venture/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230207155217/https://www.just-auto.com/news/france-renault-sets-up-iranian-joint-venture/ | archive-date = 2023-02-07 | date = 2004-03-17 | title = France: Renault sets up Iranian joint venture | work = Just Auto | publisher = Verdict Media Limited }}</ref>

IKCO also manufactures trucks, buses and [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class|E-Class]] passenger cars under license from [[Mercedes-Benz]]. In a joint-venture with [[Daimler AG]], Iran Khodro is to start production of sophisticated 900-class Mercedes-Benz [[internal combustion engine|engines]]; Daimler states that Iranian-made engines will be exported to [[Germany]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.iran-daily.com/1384/2270/html/economy.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061021210149/http://www.iran-daily.com/1384/2270/html/economy.htm|url-status=dead|title=Iran-daily.com|archivedate=October 21, 2006|accessdate=July 28, 2024}}</ref>{{When|date=October 2025}} Among Asian automotive manufacturers, IKCO is cooperating with [[Suzuki]].

In 2012, IKCO announced that at least 3% of the company's sales will be allocated to research and development.{{citation needed|date=August 2021}} As of 2015, the company's 7-year strategic plans for product development are in body design, die making, suspension, powertrain, trim and car electronics.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://english.farsnews.ir/newstext.aspx?nn=13940128000794 |title=Farsnews |access-date=2015-04-18 |archive-date=2015-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150418113838/http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13940128000794 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2017, Italian car design firm '[[Pininfarina]]' signed a €70 million, 36-month contract with Iran's biggest car producer, Iran Khodro Group on for the development of four new models and to give the carmaker a second wind in research and development of new models.

Thirteen years ago,{{When|date=October 2025}} the production line of the [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211)]] was officially launched at Iran Khodro’s factory.{{Citation needed|date=October 2025}} Today, however, the assembly plant lies deserted.{{Citation needed|date=October 2025}}

In 2002, negotiations between Iran Khodro and Mercedes-Benz Germany reached a successful agreement. By 2006, the W211 E-Class body was being assembled at "Top Khodro," a subsidiary of Iran Khodro. At the time, Mercedes-Benz Germany supplied around 1,740 parts for the vehicle, and Tap Khodro workers assembled the E-Class using the Semi-[[Knock-down kit|Knocked Down]] (SKD) method before releasing it to the market.{{Citation needed|date=October 2025}}

For a brief period in the mid-2000s, Iran Khodro’s subsidiary, Top Khodro, assembled several variants of the [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class]]—including the E200, E280, and E350—under license from the German automaker. These models, based on the [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211)|W211 generation]], were partially built through Semi-Knocked Down (SKD) assembly, with around 1,740 components imported from Mercedes-Benz.{{Citation needed|date=October 2025}}
