SAIPA Diesel Company, originally branded Iran Kaveh, is an Iranian-based manufacturer of trucks and trailers.
Beginnings[edit]
The company began operations in 1963 under an exclusive agreement with Mack Trucks to assemble their trucks and various types of trailers. By 1978, the factory was producing a total of 7,512 units.[1]
Since 2000[edit]
Environmental standards[edit]
Beginning in 2000, Iranian truck fleets running on international roads were being stopped at European frontiers due to their non-conformity to European environmental standards. SAIPA Diesel[2] committed itself to helping international transportation companies out of their plight by introducing Volvo FH12 and NH12 trucks.
Updating technology[edit]

- Investment and development of production and technology sections.
