Persia Khodro Begins ROX 01 Production in Iran with Electric Range Extender Technology

Persia Khodro has announced that it secured the required production licenses on June 30 to begin manufacturing vehicles from ROX Motor in Iran. The approval marks an important milestone for the company's local manufacturing plans and is expected to support broader adoption and wider distribution of ROX vehicles across the Iranian market. By shifting from imports to domestic production, the company aims to strengthen product availability while supporting long-term market expansion.

The first model scheduled for local production is the ROX 01, which had previously been imported and sold by Persia Khodro. Manufacturing the SUV within Iran is expected to improve supply stability and make the model more accessible to customers. The move also reflects the company's strategy of expanding local production capabilities while supporting the continued growth of the country's passenger vehicle market.

The ROX 01 is equipped with two electric motors and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that functions exclusively as a generator under its Electric Range Extender system. Together, the powertrain delivers approximately 476 hp and 740 Nm of torque. The vehicle offers an all-electric driving range of up to 235 km, while its combined driving range exceeds 1,100 km, providing both electric driving capability and extended travel distance.

ROX 01 Key Technical Specifications

The production approval enables Persia Khodro to locally manufacture the ROX 01 instead of relying solely on imports. This transition is expected to support wider vehicle availability in the Iranian market while expanding the presence of ROX Motor products through domestic production. The ROX 01 combines battery-electric driving with an onboard generator, offering long driving range without changing its published technical specifications.
