The joint Azerbaijani-Iranian plant is expected to manufacture Dena, Rana, Soren and Samand cars, as well as a number of Peugeot models. The project’s cost is estimated at 24 million manats and the plant’s annual capacity will be about 10,000 cars. The cars are planned to be exported to Ukraine, Russia and Central Asian countries in the future.
