The firm said the Iranian health ministry will use IBRD funds to buy the vehicles, which will be altered for medical use before export.
Analysts say that the Iranian market is seen as one with big automotive demand potential, but some makers have been deterred by an unstable political climate and the country’s still rocky relations with the US which maintains a trade embargo.
Ssangyong was recentlt acquired by Chinese company SAIC.
This year, Renault has concluded a wide-ranging deal to make its Logan model in Iran.
