Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Iran is implementing new regulatory and digital measures regarding its automotive sector. The FARAJA Traffic Police is launching a ‘Car Trading Platform’ intended to prevent fraud by providing verified data to ensure vehicles are not stolen, smuggled, or subject to tampered identification numbers. This initiative includes a technical inspection center for heavy vehicles in Tehran Truck Town and a ‘Motorcycle Re-registration’ project to update ownership documentation. Concurrently, the government is introducing a vehicle scrappage and replacement program targeting personal cars, public transport, and freight fleets. Owners of vehicles older than 20 years may face restrictions on fuel subsidies, vehicle transfers, and driving in metropolitan areas. To encourage the transition, the state is offering loans of approximately 400 million toman at an 8 percent interest rate, alongside scrappage certificates valued at up to 180 million toman. Participants may choose to either scrap their vehicles or replace them through direct manufacturer channels. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-22: Iran to launch vehicle scrappage and replacement program Iran is launching a vehicle scrappage program offering 400 million toman loans to replace aging cars, while imposing driving and fuel restrictions on vehicles over 20 years old. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/iran-to-launch-vehicle-scrappage-and-replacement-program ### 2026-08-22: Iran Traffic Police to launch car trading platform Iran's traffic police is launching a car trading platform to prevent fraud and establishing a technical inspection center for heavy vehicles and a motorcycle re-registration system. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/iran-traffic-police-to-launch-car-trading-platform --- Cite as: Iran automotive regulation and vehicle management.
