Iran's Ministry of Industries and Mines said in a report that Iranian car manufacturers have produced 514,434 passenger cars and 87,618 heavy vehicles between March 21 and August 23.
Iran's two major car manufacturers, Iran Khodro and Saipa, produced more than 1.4 million different models of cars last year.
An August report by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers places Iran on the list of top-five global car producers with the most growth in 2009.
Iran's car production showed a 9.5 percent growth last year, ranking fifth after China, Taiwan, Romania and India.
With the total production of 1,395,421 cars, including 35,901 commercial vehicles, Iran also climbed the chart to become the world's twelfth carmaker.
In 2008, Iran ranked 16th with the total production of 1,274,184 passenger and commercial cars.
Japan lost its ranking to China with a 31.5 percent fall in overall production, but maintained second place, followed by the United States and Germany according to the Paris-based organization's report.
