SAIPA (in ) is the second largest Iranian auto manufacturer. SAIPA (an acronym for the French ''Société Anonyme Iranienne de Production Automobile'') was established in 1966,〔http://www.saipacorp.com/en/history/〕 with 75% Iranian ownership, to assemble Citroëns under license for the Iranian market. Nowadays it builds mainly Korean cars, but has also developed its own engine and range of cars. The chief executive (president or managing director) of Saipa is Saeid Madani, predecessor of whom was Nematollah Poustindouz.〔http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=106329§ionid=351020102〕 The main subsidiaries of SAIPA Group are Saipa Diesel, Pars Khodro and Zamyad Co.〔http://www.saipacorp.com/en/saipagroupsubsidaries/default.asp SAIPA Groups' Subsidiaries〕 SAIPA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Malaysia's Proton to jointly develop a new compact sedan to replace the SAIPA Pride.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Proton and SAIPA partner up for budget sedan in Iran )〕 ==Historical models== Saipa began by assembling Citroën's two-cylinder mini passenger car, the Dyane, in 1968. It went under the name Jyane (or Jian) in Iran. There was also an uncommonly ugly glazed panel van version of the Jyane, as well as the Baby-Brousse, a rustic little buggy in the style of a Citroën Méhari but with a metal body. Later, a pickup version of the Jyane also appeared. The Baby-Brousse was built from 1970 until 1979. In 1975 Saipa began manufacturing licensed versions of the original Renault 5 and later the Renault 21. Production of Citroëns ended in 1980. From 1986-1998 Saipa built the Z24 pickup, a license built version of the 1970-1980 Nissan Junior with a 2.4-litre engine. In 1998 Saipa took over the Zamyad company, which then undertook the production of the Z24. Since 2003, this truck has been sold under the Zamyad brand.〔 Renault 5 production ended in 1994 (Pars Khodro took over the production lines), and the 21 was discontinued in 1997.〔 In 1993 a relationship with KIA began, and production of the Kia Pride commenced. Saipa's Pride is marketed under the names Saba (saloon) and Nasim (hatchback). At the 2001 Tehran Motor Show the liftback Saipa 141 was added to the lineup. This is a five-door version based on the Saba, and is somewhat longer than the Nasim. The Pride series cars carry 97% local content.〔 From 2001 to late 2010,〔http://www.tabnak.ir/fa/news/119651〕 Saipa has had also produced the Citroën Xantia under licence〔http://iran-daily.com/1385/2599/html/focus.htm〕 as well as assembling sedan models of the previous generation Kia Rio using parts imported from Korea, from May 2005 to late 2012 where Saipa lost its license to produce Kia Rios.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=توقف خط تولید خودرو سواری ریو تا پایان امسال )〕 In 2000, SAIPA purchased 51% of Pars Khodro. It also manufactures the Citroen C5 and the New C5. Other products are the Renault Tondar 90, a Renault Logan assembled by SAIPA and its subsidiary Pars Khodro in a joint venture with Renault known as Renault Pars,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Renault Pars )〕 with over 100,000 orders within a week of it going on sale in March 2007.〔http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070311/wl_mideast_afp/iraneconomyautofrance_070311150403〕〔http://www.ftd.de/karriere_management/business_english/:Business%20English%20Sales%20Iranian/175862.html〕 Production was launched in Venezuela in 2006, and in Syria in 2007.〔http://www.saipacorp.com/portal/Home/Default.aspx?CategoryID=2813e2bb-ad71-4a87-9094-d55c17771826〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SAIPA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
