The number of manufacturers and distribution of market between firms with different sizes can be examined using concentration index. In this paper, the concentration ratio, Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, Hall-Tiedman Index, comprehensive industrial concentration index, entropy and Hannah-Kay index were used during 1996, 2011, 2006 and 2011. The main objective of the present study is to measure concentration in the Iranian car market and show its changes during 1996-2011. The results indicated a high concentration in the Iranian automotive industry. Even with the advent of new firms to the Iranian automotive industry and increased total production, there has been a constant concentration in the automotive industry.

  • Tata Motors, Iran Khodro (IKCO) in Talks to Jointly Assemble Cars in Iran – Report 24-May-2016 09:19 GMT News Strategic Partnerships
    Tata Motors, Iran Khodro (IKCO) in talks to jointly assemble cars in Iran – report 24-May-2016 09:19 GMT News Strategic Partnerships Assembly operations expected to begin by 2018 Iran Khodro Industrial Group (IKCO) and India's Tata Motors are reportedly negotiating a joint venture (JV) agreement to assemble the latter's cars in Tehran. According to a report by Accord Fintech, Tata Motors plans to assemble gasoline versions of its models, including the Tiago, Bolt and Zest at IKCO's manufacturing facility using local components like tires and batteries. The automaker is expecting to initially assemble nearly 100,000 cars annually, which will be gradually ramped up. The assembly operations are expected to begin by 2018. Tata Motors also plans to use Iran Khodro's sales network to sell the cars. Significance: As the largest player in the local market, IKCO plays a key role in Iran's automotive industry. The company has developed strategic partnerships with leading global carmakers including PSA, Renault and Suzuki and recently invited global car manufacturers for collaboration. Iran's vehicle market and industry are attracting renewed interest from global automakers following the diplomatic breakthrough that lifted international sanctions last year. Prior to the sanctions imposed on Iran, Tata Motors operated completely knocked down (CKD) assembly operations through Tehran-based Morattab, according to IHS Automotive production data. Morattab assembled Tata's Land Rover Defender sport utility vehicle (SUV). If the report is indeed correct, it may end up being a big positive for Tata Motors by boosting overseas sales. In recent years, Tata Motors has been cornered in its home turf, although it has tried to win back market share by launching the Tiago hatchback.

  • The Current Situation and Development of Iran Automotive Industry
    International Symposium on Niobium Microalloyed Sheet Steel for Automotive Application Edited by S. Hashimoto, S. Jansto, H. Mohrbacher, and F. Siciliano TMS (The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society), 2006 THE CURRENT SITUATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF IRAN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY M. Ghorbani and A. Olfat Iran Khodro Company - R&D center Tehran, Iran Introduction The automotive industry in Iran has been established since 1958. It was started with producing a Jeep vehicle. Then the Saika, Iran Khodro and Saipa companies began with the production of Fiat, Paykan and Zhian (brand of Citroen) automobiles in 1960, 1965, and 1966, respectively. In 1973, IRAN JEEP Company sold 45% of its share to GM Company, and the latter commenced the production of the Chevrolet Nova, Buick and Cadillac. The growth of the Iranian automotive industry was slow and all cars were assembled as CKD until 1990. However, in the decade of the 1990s, the growth was considerable and it has been continuing strongly in the current decade. At the moment, the volume production of all vehicles in Iran is close to 900,000 units per year. The Iran automotive industry in the current decade has achieved great progress in design and manufacturing fields. The production of the SAMAND car by Iran Khodro indicates there is a high capability for engineering design, validation process and preparation for the mass production stage in Iran. Nowadays, there are several companies producing different types of vehicles such as passenger cars, vans, trucks, busses and mini-busses in Iran. In Table I, the active companies and the respective production volume and Iranian market share in 2004 are shown.

In this paper, ranking and scoring of companies according to their ongoing concept concern was developed by one of the bankruptcy prediction models, Zavgren (1982) model that its output in numerical value of zero-one range show the bankruptcy prediction and ongoing concept concern prediction of a company. Since, this model was developed in accordance with financial environment and firms of other countries, and was not applicable in Iranian firms with its different structure, after selecting a sample of 40 firms which listed in Tehran Stock Exchange, (TSE) the coefficients of the model was adjusted with the conditions of Iranian companies. In this research, first, we tested the reliability and validity of the model within a sample of 14 bankrupt and normal companies. After insuring of the efficiency of the model, ongoing concept concern prediction and bankruptcy prediction of sample from automotive industry was assessed.
