By Fatih Karimov - Trend: Iranian carmaker Diyar Khodro started the trial production of the first electric car in the country.

Mohammad Taqi Khanloo, Managing Director of Diyar Khodro Company, said that the car will be produced in large scale in the next Iranian calendar year which starts on March 21,if the government supports the project, Iran's Fars news agency reported on Jan. 18.

Some 42,500 units of the electric car are projected to be produced per year, he added.
