The first Iranian two-seat plug-in car will be unveiled today.
The vehicle, which was designed and built by a group of young experts at the Khaje Nasir Toosi University of Technology, has been named the Qasedak-e-Nasir (Dandelion of Nasir).
Fourteen students and graduates of the university have worked on the project for 10 months.
Environmental concerns and high petrol prices have helped promote research on and development of electric and hybrid cars.
