APRIN Dry Port (ADP) provides specialized automotive logistics solutions for the import, customs clearance, storage, and nationwide distribution of Vehicles, CKD/SKD shipments, and Automotive Components. Through car carrier and direct rail connections with China and Türkiye, seamless cargo transfers from Bandar Abbas Port, an on-site Customs Office, and access to Iran’s national rail and car carriers road network, ADP helps automotive manufacturers, importers, and suppliers optimize supply chains, reduce logistics costs, and improve delivery performance across Iran.
The automotive industry relies on efficient, reliable, and cost-effective logistics networks to ensure the uninterrupted flow of vehicles, components, and spare parts across global supply chains. APRIN Dry Port (ADP), as Iran’s first rail-based container dry port and one of the country’s largest Integrated Logistics Hubs, provides specialized logistics solutions for automotive manufacturers, importers, distributors, and parts suppliers operating across domestic and international markets.
Strategically located near Tehran, the center of Iran’s automotive manufacturing, assembly, and consumption market, APRIN serves as a key inland gateway for the import, transportation, customs clearance, storage, and nationwide distribution of vehicles and automotive components.
A significant portion of Iran’s automotive supply chain depends on the import of components and spare parts from East Asia, particularly China, South Korea, and Japan, as well as major European manufacturing centers including Germany, France, and Türkiye. APRIN supports these supply chains through integrated multimodal transportation solutions that connect international production hubs with Iranian manufacturers, assemblers, and distribution networks.
For cargo originating in China, APRIN benefits from direct rail connectivity through the international China–Iran railway corridor, enabling containers and automotive components to reach APRIN in approximately 14-20 days. Cargo originating from Türkiye can also be transported efficiently via international rail services connected to Iran’s railway network, providing an alternative to traditional maritime transportation while reducing logistics costs, transit times and supply chain risks.
In addition to rail freight solutions, APRIN supports automotive imports arriving by sea through Bandar Abbas Port, Iran’s primary container gateway. Vehicles, CKD and SKD shipments, automotive parts, and industrial components arriving from East Asia and Europe can be transported from Bandar Abbas directly to APRIN through the national rail network. This integrated rail connection significantly reduces inland transportation costs, minimizes port congestion, and accelerates cargo movement toward the country’s largest automotive market.
One of APRIN’s key advantages is the presence of an on-site Customs Office, allowing imported vehicles, automotive parts, and industrial equipment to be processed and cleared within the dry port. By combining customs operations, container handling, warehousing, and transportation services in a single location, APRIN helps importers reduce administrative complexity, improve cargo visibility, and shorten supply chain lead times.
ADP offers below added vehical services:

By integrating international rail corridors, maritime gateways, customs services, warehousing infrastructure, and nationwide transportation networks, APRIN Dry Port provides a comprehensive automotive logistics platform that enhances supply chain efficiency, reduces transportation costs, and supports the continued growth of Iran’s automotive industry.
