Daimler-Benz which is best known for its Mercedes-Benz automobile brand, is an old partner of Iran's biggest auto producer Iran Khodro Co., Yekkeh Zareh said speaking to reporters on Tuesday in Tehran.
As western companies seek to benefit from the end of economic sanctions, the German maker of commercial vehicles and luxury cars may sign a deal with Iran Khodro as soon as three months from now, Chief Executive Officer Hashem Yekeh Zareh said.
Daimler may open an office in Iran within two to three months, the Iranian CEO added.
“Mercedes-Benz is an old partner for Iran Khodro, and it has announced its willingness and readiness to work with us,” Yekeh Zareh said. He declined to comment on the financial scope of any partnership with Mercedes parent Daimler.
