The construction of IRICO factory started on March 2003 in an area of 53 Hectares in Zanjan Province, 17 Km to Abhar city, and it was inaugurated on January 2009. The factory was founded under the direct investment of Iran Khodro (the car producer leader of the Middle East), but in March, 2010 it was totally sold to Iranian Transport Development holding company. The factory officially started its production by manufacturing a rail bus project.
In addition to our existing project of producing rail bus, as well as the designing and manufacturing of metro cars, we have the capability of producting passenger coaches, freight wagons and monorails. The factory has potentially the capacity to overhaul, maintain and repair coaches, wagons and Locomotives, too.
IRICO production line utilizes new equipment and machinery such as Welding Robot, CMM, Bogie press and test as well as modern and flexible jigs and fixtures which form the most complete and modern production line in Iranian rail industries.
Some of the equipment used in our plant are:
1. Welder robot-IGM Company
2. 3D Measuring equipment (CMM)- Zett Mess
3. Flexible car body jig and fixture
4. Bogie Press
5. 100 ton Straitening press
6. Shunting car (Zwieweg)
7. Test equipment
The very first design of an entire metro car and consequently production of that will occur in IRICO soon. It means the first Iranian-made metro car will have IRICO brand.
