History
The organisation began rolling stock manufacturing in 1984,[3] in 1999 the factory reached an agreement with GEC-Alstom to produce under license the AD43C mainline locomotives.[4][5][6]
In 2007 the company manufactured Iran's first express train, a four coach, 252 passenger, 160 km/hr train.[7] In 2009 the company had a production capacity of 1800 vehicles per annum, and was operating at 20% of that figure.[3]
In the first decade of the 21st century the company received export orders for Cuba, including a 60 billion rial order for 550 freight wagons,[8] (completed Sept. 2009[9]) and 200 passenger vehicles[10] Also in 2009 the company obtained a €80 million contract with Vietnam Railways for the supply of 200 passenger vehicles - 40 of which would be produced by Wagon Pars, the remainder assembled in Vietnam as part of a technology transfer agreement.[11]
In 2009 and 2010 workers at the Wagon Pars factory staged protests due to lack of payment of wages; the company is thought to be in financial difficulties due to mismanagement. The acquisition by Iran Khodro during the 2005-2010 privatisation of Iranian industries is claimed to have contributed to the company's poor financial state.[12]
In May 2010 the company announced it was to help set up a rolling stock factory in Syria. The plant is to have a production capacity of 300 wagons, and also be able to repair passenger coaches.[13][14]
