Self-Sufficiency in Car Batteries

Iran has reached self-sufficiency in the production of car batteries and is now focusing on exports.

Annually, 15 million car batteries are being produced in Iran, of which 4 million are exported, according to the head of the Battery Manufacturers and Sellers and Specialized Automotive Electric Services Association.

“In recent years, effective measures have been taken to produce 100% of the needed car batteries domestically and at present, we not only meet domestic demand, but are exporting more than 4 million batteries to neighboring countries annually,” Hossein Ali-Akbari also told IRIB News in an exclusive interview.

Currently, 10 million are used by the active car fleet and 1 million for car production lines, he added.
