President Rouhani Test-Drives Homegrown Electric Car


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday got behind the wheel of a domestically-made electric car in Tehran and test-drove it.

President Rouhani was invited to test-drive the battery-powered car called “Yooz” (Cheetah) while being briefed on electric products of three Iranian knowledge-based companies on Wednesday.

The car as well as two electric motorcycles displayed on Wednesday have been developed by the research center of Sharif University of Technology, research center of Qazvin Islamic Azad University, and Bana Sharif Research and Development Center.

The president praised the homegrown products and urged the need for more efforts to promote their quality and safety.
