Saeed Mohammadzadeh stopped short of mentioning the company or companies supplying the wagons, IRNA reported.
The Islamic Republic of Iran Railways signed a contract with Iranian Rail Industries Development Company eight years ago to manufacture 150 railbus wagons.
“IRICO produced 16 wagons in the last Iranian year (March 2015-16), in addition to the 56 it had previously delivered,” Morteza Moqaddami, the company’s CEO, said.
According to Financial Tribune, a railbus is a very lightweight passenger rail vehicle that shares many aspects of its construction with a bus, usually having a bus, or modified bus, body and having four wheels on a fixed base.
