Iran to Attend Int'l Car Exhibition in Russia
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's second home-designed passenger car, Runna, is scheduled to be shown in the international car exhibition due to be held in Russia on August 24.
The locally-made car is now in European test centers for further technical and airbag tests.
The Iranian sedan is to be manufactured with 1600cc engine, Euro 4 environment standard and EF7 Dual-Fuel engine.
The compact sedan, in fact, is based on the same platform as Peugeot 206 sedan, which is also built and sold in Iran by IKCO.
Earlier, Iran-Khodro Company (IKCO), the largest car-manufacturer in the Middle-East, announced that it plans to use 1400cc EF4 engine on Runna in a bid to expand its global market and improve Runna's emission standard to Euro V and Euro VI.
EF4 is generally designed based on its sister EF7, while the pistons, rods, crank shaft, valve timing system and crankcase have been partially changed.
Other related systems including cooling system, air supply, exhaust emission, transmission and engine mounting have also received some levels of transformations to let the EF4 engine fit in Runna.
According to IKCO strategic plan, three engines of TU5, EF7 and EF4 are considered for Runna; however the one outfitted with TU5 will hit the market by this September.
