Since 1343, Khavar Industrial Company has put the production of Mercedes-Benz trucks and vans on its agenda.
In this way, the sales of the East began in our country.
Khavar began assembly with one truck per day and continued successfully for years.
Khavar produced and sold various models of these types of trucks. So that these trucks opened a place in the hearts of heavy car drivers.
Until today, we see second-hand or third-hand models of these trucks that slowly and continuously travel on the roads.
Years after Khavar entered Iran, this company merged with Iran Khodro in 1378 and this is how Iran Khodro Diesel Group was formed.
The history of the Benz wagon hood truck
The history of the Wagon Hood Room dates back to the late 1950s.
The first production of this series was done in 1959 in Germany for domestic consumption.
But the production for export continued until 1995.
The L series was a very successful export and quickly became popular and used in the Middle East, Africa and South America.
Wagon Hood Benzes are one of the first Mercedes-Benz products after the World War.
In 1336, Khodrosazi Khavor (Iran Khodro Diesel) started importing these trucks.
Wagon hood production started in Iran in 1339.
The first product of the Eastern Automobile Company
In 1339, the production of Mercedes-Benz trucks with code 608 to 813 started at Khavar Khodrosazi.
A product that is known as Khavar on the roads.
1341, the first series of semi-heavy rooms with code 911 hit the roads of Iran.
In the markets of other countries, there were other codes such as 711.
Of course, it should be said that Havar company started its production with Mercedes Benz 911 product, not 1921.

Why are there few semi-heavy products in Iran?
Iranian drivers did not like semi-heavy products; They either chose a heavy truck or a light truck.
For this reason, the production of these semi-heavy products was less well received in Iran.
At the end of the 1340s, the Mercedes-Benz truck with code 1921 became a new guest on the roads of Iran.
Later, Mercedes-Benz 2624, known as Zimmermiler, was added to the company’s product portfolio.
With the passing of years and the progress of this company, the 9-liter engine of 1921 was replaced by a 12-liter engine with the code of 1924.
Types of engines installed on Benz Wagon Hood trucks
Khavar considered 4 engine types for its products:
4 liter engines that were installed on 608 models.
7 liter engines were used on 911 trucks.
9 liter engines that were used on the 302 bus and for a short period on the 1921 trucks.
354 12 liter engine that was installed on 1924 trucks and is still used.
Because the Iranian market is not interested in mid-range cars, with the arrival of the 12-liter engine, other products were removed from the production line.
Most of the parts of this truck are produced inside Iran.
Has the Benz truck made a difference in Iran?
The answer to this question is positive, and in fact, the updated production of Mercedes-Benz Wagon Hood truck in Iran is almost only in common with the old models.
What parts do these truck changes include?
The main components of this truck, such as: engine, gearbox, etc., have been changed for various reasons.
The axles were changed around 1380 and the gearbox of this car has been changed several times.
The steering box was changed in the eighties and a ZF steering box was installed on this car.
This truck is a popular product not only in Iran but also in the Persian Gulf countries.
Easy repairs are one of the reasons for its popularity
Contrary to what the drivers say, the lifespan of the Mercedes-Benz Wagon Hood is not long at all and it has many failures.
But due to the simple design of this truck, it is easy to repair and even in the desert it can be repaired.
And this is a very important point for drivers.
But with the development of new trucks, more comfort has been provided for the driver.
This has changed the taste of drivers and new drivers are less fond of old trucks.

The meaning of Mercedes Benz truck codes
If there are three digits, the first digit from the left is the tonnage and the second two digits multiplied by 10 are the engine power.
If it is four digits, the first two digits from the left side are the tonnage of the truck and the second two digits multiplied by 10 are the engine power.
