Beginnings
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
Environmental standards
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
SAIPA Diesel has also taken on the responsibility of updating the Iranian truck fleets.

- Investment and development of production and technology sections.
