Renault Pars (Persian: رنو پارس, Renou Pars, pronounced [ɾeˈnou ˈpɒːɾs]) is an Iranian joint venture established in 2004 and owned by Renault and Iran's Industrial Development Renovation Organisation (IDRO) .[2] The company is in charge of managing the assembly of CKD Renault cars by local manufacturers Iran Khodro and SAIPA's Pars Khodro.[3][4]

History

Renault cars were manufactured in Iran as early as December 1976, when a local company started the production of the Renault 5.[5] However, several restrictions made difficult for Renault to manufacture locally. The restrictions were reduced in the 1990s[4] and Iran SAIPA produced various Renault cars, including the 5 and the 21.[6]

On 24 March 2004, Renault, IDRO and the Presidents of Iran Khodro and SAIPA signed the agreement which established Renault Pars.[1] The company organises the assembly of imported CKD cars, but the engines are produced locally.[3]

By 2018, Renault had left the Iranian market but its cars were still being made by its local partners. By 2020 SAIPA (Pars Khodro's parent) was making a updated version of the original Dacia Logan called the SAIPA Renault Pars Tondar with over 85% of local parts, according to company CEO Javad Soleimani.[7]
