15-12-2006 China's
Soueast Motor Co. Ltd. has clinched its biggest ever export deal with Iranian
companies to sell 8,000 Light buses to Iran next August. 
Delica
is one of the own-brand of Soueast Motor
The
8,000 Soueast Delica, bought by Mehreghan Co. and its agent Setareh Nik Aria Vehicle
Manufacturing Co., will be used to replace rundown taxis in Iranian cities.
Soueast Motor, based in southeast China's Fujian Province, has won the lion's
share of the Iranian government's plan to replace 15,000 taxis in 2007, according
to a report on the company's website.
But the company did not reveal
the price of the exported light buses.
The export deal is a major breakthrough
for Soueast Motor, which is trying to promote its products on the international
market, said Ling Yuzhang, board chairman of the company.
To boost the
export of auto vechicles and parts, the Chinese government is planning to set
higher requirements for the country's auto exporters.
Soueast Motor was
among the first 44 auto exporters to be approved by the Ministry of Commerce and
the National Development and Reform Commission in August of this year.
