Modiran Vehicle Manufacturing Company (MVM) is an Iranian automobile firm, that currently makes a version of the Chery QQ3 called the MVM 110.

[edit] History

MVM is a subsidiary of Kerman Khodro, an Iranian assembler of Volkswagens, that also used to assemble a version of the Daewoo Matiz for the local market. The Matiz had been assembled by Kerman since the year 2000 in a joint venture with the South Korean Daewoo Company. However the crisis at Daewoo Motor in South Korea resulted in a take-over by the American General Motors corporation which then put a blockage on Iran and so stopped supplying CKD kits to the Iranian company. Due to this, Kerman licenced the Chery QQ as the car was of a similar style to the GM car. However as Kerman had replaced the GM Daewoo lines with that of Volkswagen, they put it into production at their subsidiary MVM as the 110.
