The production of kurzhauber trucks ended in 1997, but in Iran it continued for several years until now, it has almost reached zero, but the used models of this type of truck are still popular.
In 1959, the German Mercedes-Benz company, which is famous for producing luxury cars, started producing trucks named Kurzhauber to expand the production line and sell heavy products. These trucks with the big Benz logo that stood out in front of them were exported to countries from South America, Africa and the Middle East to transport goods and also serve the fire department.
Mercedes Benz trucks in Iran
Iran Khodro Company, which before the revolution was called Khavar Industrial Group, was established in Tehran in 1338 to produce trucks under the license of Moazzam Mercedes-Benz Company and started manufacturing all kinds of trucks and vans. In those years, several models of kurzhauber trucks entered the Iranian market, which were well received by heavy vehicle drivers, and thus فروش خاور در کشورمان از سال 1343 آغاز شد و با مونتاژ یک دستگاه کامیون در روز شروع کرد و تا سالها با موفقیت ادامه داد و مدلهای مختلفی از این نوع کامیونها را تولید و به فروش رساند. طوری این کامیون ها در دل رانندگان ماشینهای سنگین جا باز کرد که تا امروز هم مدلهای دست دوم یا دست چندم آن را میبینیم که آهسته و پیوسته در جادهها طی طریق میکنند و رانندهای که به روبرویش زل زده با گوش دادن به موسیقیهای عامه پسند و آویزانهایی که به آینه خاورش وصل کرده و مدام تکان میخورند به سوی مقصد دور یا نزدیکش میراند. در واقع این صحنه راننده ماشین سنگین با خاوری قدیمی بارها در زندگیمان تکرار شده و به هیچ وجه هم کهنه نمیشود.
Years after Khavar entered Iran, this company was merged with Iran Khodro in 1378 and thus Iran Khodro Diesel Group was formed.
The production of Kurzhauber trucks ended in 1997, but in Iran it continued until a few years later, until now it has almost reached zero, but still used models of this type of truck are popular and many people on the site دیوار به دنبال کامیون برای خرید و فروش هستند به خرید خاور دست دوم در مدلهایی مانند خاور بنز 608 یا سری LK1924 به صورت نقد یا اقساط علاقمندند. ضمن اینکه در این سایت میتوان لوازم یدکی مدلهای مختلف کامیونهای خاور را به صورت دست دوم یا نو با قیمتی مناسبتر از فروشگاهها مستقیما از فروشنده خریداری کرد.
One of the successful productions of Iran Khodro was Khavar 608 diesel truck, which is still produced and is mostly used for transporting food and moving supplies.
