Iranian delegate’s FIA term renewed
Ramin Salehkhoo, Iran’s representative in the International Historical Commission (CHI) of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), has secured a two-year extension to his membership following a vote by the organization’s World Council for Mobility and Tourism. Salehkhoo, head of the Historical Vehicles Association under the Iranian Touring and Automobile Club, will continue as a titular member of CHI. The renewal signals strong backing from the FIA for what it called his “professional approach” and “recognized expertise.”
The FIA’s CHI, tasked with global policy and standards around historic vehicles, plays a key role in preserving automotive heritage. Salehkhoo has been active in shaping those policies during his previous term, contributing expert views and taking part in high-level meetings. A senior official from the FIA’s mobility sector wrote to Salehkhoo, congratulating him and encouraging his “active participation” in the future of the historical motoring landscape. Salehkhoo also serves as vice president and board member of the International Federation of Historic Vehicles (FIVA). He brings decades of experience in technical, research, and executive roles related to classic vehicles.
