Environmental standards

Beginning in 2000, Iranian truck fleets running on international roads were being stopped at European frontiers due to their non-conformity to European environmental standards. SAIPA Diesel[2] committed itself to helping international transportation companies out of their plight by introducing Volvo FH12 and NH12 trucks.

Updating technology

SAIPA Diesel has also taken on the responsibility of updating the Iranian truck fleets.

Present & future

At present, SAIPA Diesel's annual production capacity is 20,000 units of different types of trucks and 6,000 units of various types of trailers and truck bodies. Several actions have contributed to the company's current position.
