Samand is an Iranian car brand manufactured by Iran Khodro (IKCO) using local manufacturers for its parts. In ''Samand'' is the name for a breed of fast horse. Samand trade name is now registered at the World Intellectual Property Organization. Its selling price starts at Turkish lira 21,000 in Turkey which equals to nearly USD 7300 in 2015. The most expensive product from its family costs about USD 8300. The Samand production project began in 1996 and the first car was sold in 2000. The Samand inherits the title of Iran's national automobile from the Paykan, which was sold by Iran Khodro from 1967 to 2005.〔http://www.ikco.com/products/samand.aspx 〕 ==Engine and components== The Samand is built on the Peugeot 405 platform, originally using the XU7JP/L3 engine, amongst others. The Peugeot 405 is also in production in Iran, along with a facelifted version, the Peugeot Pars. IKCO manufactures 80% of Samand's parts domestically, including an Iranian-designed engine. For export markets (and also the Iranian market), IKCO is using the Peugot TU5JP4 engine for Samand. This is because the TU5 is a low consumption and powerful engine and because of the ease of finding its parts all over the Europe, since the TU5 has been used for the Peugeot 206, Peugeot 307 and Peugeot 207. The TU5 version of Samand comes with three new options: driver airbag, pretensioner seat-belts, headlight height adjuster and active antenna. Since early 2009, IKCO has used newly developed Iranian engines such as a dual-fuel national engine for its new models (EF7). In mid-2010, IKCO started to install petrol-only EF7 engines on Samand. The engine is not a petrol-based version of EF7 but the compressed natural gas (CNG) parts of the engine are removed and also the engine control unit (ECU) program. However, the petrol-based version of the engine is currently under development. 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「IKCO Samand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
