چکیده:
The aim of this paper is two folds:
1- To compare the level of technological advances in Iran''''s Automotive Industry
with that of its competitors globally.
2- To compare the relative technological advances of Iran''''s Auto Industry with
other sectors of the Iranian economy.
To measure the level of technological advances, we have used the Atlas Model of
Technology.
The results indicate that the level of technological advances in Iran''''s Auto
Industry is quite low compared to developed countries; differences in the level
of technology used in other sectors of the Iranian economy are not statistically
significant.
In conclusion, we proffer several recommendations and suggestions for improving
the current level of technology in Iran''''s Auto Industry.

With this brief introduction, we consider changes in global technology and its use in underdeveloped countries, especially its application in Iran''''s Auto Industry.
Lack of foreign investment is another reason; consequently the importing of foreign technology is on the wane 2- Supply of know–how in Car Parts Industry in Iran The statistical study undertaken by the Auto Parts Manufacturing Society in 200-2002 looked specifically at the ways of imparting supply information to its members.
3-3-Technology of Automotive Industry in Iran in Comparison to the Global Situation In this section we focus on eight parts of technology as follow: 1- Existing Tech.
Table No. 7 clearly indicates that the level of technology in Iran''''s automotive industry is far behind that of the developed countries in all the aforementioned sections.
