“We will design and develop four powertrains that can mostly cover our need for our future cars,” said IKCO CEO, Hashem Yekehzare.
“These powertrains will meet the world’s technologies and the contract includes full technology transfer, while the second powertrain onwards will be designed and manufactured by IKCO.
“Design will take 30 to 33 months and the pre-production phase will come next, following which 350,000 powertrains will be mass-produced annually.”
