Over 60 Years of Commitment and Service
The story of Shahab Khodro began in 1955, rooted in a deep commitment to mobility and progress. Our journey gained momentum in 1966 with the establishment of the “Leyland Motor Iran” production lines and strategic partnerships with world-renowned manufacturers, eventually flourishing under the esteemed name “Shahab Khodro.” As the nation’s premier and most experienced manufacturer of specialized urban service vehicles and public transportation fleets, we have been the driving force behind Iran’s roads, urban streets, and transit infrastructure for over six decades. Blending decades of experience with cutting-edge localized engineering, we are steadfast in our commitment to pioneering clean, smart transportation—a promise that has defined our past, shapes our present, and guides our future.
