Referring to the consequences of the high consumption of fossil fuels, quoted the Institute for Citation and Monitoring of Science and Technology of the Islamic World (ISC), Mohammad Mehdi Alavian-Mehr, as the head of this institute, said: the widespread use of fossil fuels by vehicles and the severe pollution caused by it, along with the reduction of energy resources, has caused global atteion to be directed towards clean energy and the developme of electric vehicles.
Emphasizing the coinuation of environmeal challenges, he stated: air pollution, high daily consumption of gasoline, low quality and wear and tear of cars reveal the necessity of developing and using electric cars more than ever.
Alavian Mehr stated: The Islamic Republic of Iran, with the aim of maiaining its political, cultural, economic and scieific independence, is taking steps towards achieving electric vehicle technology. National authority depends on atteion to science and technology, which is not limited to the production of knowledge, but must be used in daily life and coury manageme. According to the national plans being compiled, there is a special focus on the developme and use of electric vehicle technology, and it is expected that Iran’s position in the use of these technologies will improve.
According to the meioned materials, it is very importa to review and analyze the scieific position of electric vehicle technologies in the prestigious global rankings.
Alavian Mehr said: Among the missions of the ISC Institute is the monitoring of the state of the coury’s scieific productions in various fields. For example, in the field of technologies related to electric vehicle engines, this institute has examined the state of Iran’s scieific production in the period from 2005 to 2024 based on the data indexed in the “WebOscience” database and compared it with other leading Islamic and global couries.

He poied out: According to the data of the Web of Science database, in the period from 2005 to 2024, in terms of the number of scieific products, Iran has taken the fourth place in the world and the first place among the couries of the Islamic world in the technology of “switched reluctance motors” and has performed better in this technology than other couries of the Islamic world. Also, the rank of the Islamic Republic of Iran in brushless direct curre motor technology is the 6th in the world and the first rank among the couries of the Islamic world. Iran ranks 10th in three-phase induction motor technology and 11th in series direct curre motor and permane magnet synchronous motor technologies.
