Iran has a rich and storied history that spans over 2,500 years. From the ancient Persian Empire to the Islamic Revolution, the country has been a major player in global politics and culture.

The Achaemenid Empire, founded by Cyrus the Great in 550 BCE, was a vast and influential empire that stretched from the Indus River to the Mediterranean Sea. It's considered one of the greatest empires of the ancient world.

The Sassanid Empire, which ruled from 224 CE to 651 CE, was a major power in the ancient world and played a significant role in the spread of Christianity and Zoroastrianism. They were known for their impressive architecture and art.

The Islamic Revolution in 1979 CE marked a significant turning point in Iranian history, as the country transitioned from a monarchy to an Islamic republic. This led to a significant shift in the country's politics and culture.

The ancient city of Persepolis, built by the Achaemenid Empire, is one of the most famous ancient cities in the world and a testament to Iran's rich history.

SAIPA began by assembling Citroën's two-cylinder mini passenger car, the Dyane, in 1968. It went under the name Jyane (or Jian) in Iran.

Over 120,000 Jyane models were built. There was also an uncommonly ugly glazed panel van version of the Jyane.

The Baby-Brousse, a rustic little buggy in the style of a Citroën Méhari but with a metal body, was built from 1970 until 1979. Later, a pickup version of the Jyane also appeared.

In 1975 Saipa began manufacturing licensed versions of the original Renault 5 and later the Renault 21. Production of Citroëns ended in 1980.

From 1986 to 1998 SAIPA built the Z24 pickup, a license-built version of the 1970-1980 Nissan Junior with a 2.4-litre engine. In 1998 SAIPA took over the Zamyad company, which then undertook the production of the Z24.

Renault 5 production ended in 1994, and the 21 was discontinued in 1997.

SAIPA has a significant history of acquisitions, starting with the purchase of 51% of Pars Khodro in 2000.

This move allowed SAIPA to expand its product line, as evident in the Citroën C5 model manufactured at Pars Khodro.

In 2000, SAIPA purchased 51% of Pars Khodro, where it manufactured the Citroën C5.

Since then, Pars Khodro has mainly assembled a range of Chinese models, but other products include the SAIPA Renault Pars Tondar, an updated locally built version of the first-generation Dacia Logan.

Here's a list of notable acquisitions and partnerships:

The Renault Tondar 90, an updated locally built version of the first-generation Dacia Logan, received over 100,000 orders within a week of its sale in March 2007.

SAIPA's acquisition of Pars Khodro marked the beginning of a new era for the company, with a broader range of products and partnerships to its name.

SAIPA has a long history of producing a wide range of vehicles. The company started by assembling Citroën's two-cylinder mini passenger car, the Dyane, in 1968, which was sold under the name Jyane in Iran.

The first domestic model produced by SAIPA was the 701 Caravan minivan, launched in 2000, which was later facelifted in 2003. In 2008, SAIPA launched the Iran-made "SAIPA National Engine 231".

The Tiba/Miniator was unveiled in December 2008, featuring a 4-cylinder gas engine and ABS, with a price of less than 100 million rials (USD10,000). This model was designed and produced by domestic experts, utilizing the services of 122 local manufacturers and producing 810 parts.

The Tiba/Miniator was originally named Miniator, but was later changed to Tiba (gazelle). It was expected to gradually replace the Pride of Kia Motors, with a share of 20 percent in SAIPA's exports by 2011.

In 2012, a pick-up version of the SAIPA Pride was introduced, called the SAIPA 151, capable of carrying up to 460 kilograms (380 kilograms with the LPG engine). A hatchback version of the Tiba, named the Tiba 211, was unveiled in 2013.
