Zamyad Co.

Zamyad Co. (Persian: خودروسازی زامیاد) is an Iranian commercial vehicle manufacturing company. It was founded in 1963 as part of the RENA Industrial Group in Tehran.[1] In 1963, the company began producing Volvo N-Model trucks.[2] and in 1970 started production of Nissan Junior 2000 pickup. In 1998 SAIPA took over the Zamyad company, who then undertook the production of the Z24, a license built version of the 1970-1980 Nissan Junior with a 2.4-litre engine. Since 2003, this truck is sold under the Zamyad brand.[3] Zamyad produces a rebodied version of the Z24 called the Shooka.
