In an address to the Early Suppliers Involvement (ESI) for IKCO’s new platform, Geno Mozako, said the design and development of new vehicles as well as internal-combustion engines with other companies in this cooperation is among our main goals in Iran.
He went on saying Pininfarina’s main strategy is unprecedented which includes not only designing of a vehicle but also other features like fuel efficiency, safety, environment-friendly and competitiveness.
“Producing vehicles in various types like hatchback, sedan, crossover and SUV have been predicted for the new platform. Meanwhile, we have an eye on hybrid and electronic vehicles,” he said.
Pininfarina Company is a designing and engineering company which has already designed some leading brands like Ferrari.
According to the representative, Pininfarina is also active in propulsion production and is capable of producing it for certain vehicles in a limited number.
“Pininfarina is the only company which tests and analyses all stages of development itself,” he noted.
