In early of 1968, he also began to produce brake systems for commercial vehicles.

After the revolution in Iran He founded Iran booster Company with his partners. This company with passing Bendix technical interview, was one of the first companies which could produce under the license of an international company. Due to the war, and refusing foreign part manufacturers to supply, localization of Trailer coupling, Quick release valve and Spring break actuator were started and after that the other parts of the braking system was produced locally. As a result, Iran became independent of importing car’s brake systems.

It should be mentioned, it was the first time that parts of vehicles safety systems were produced completely local and were made without any support from external suppliers.

In 1993, Hashemi and his partners, in order to develop their activities, founded a new company named Azin Taneh. From that time, much more brake system parts for passenger cars and commercial vehicls have been produced by Azin Taneh company.

Production of brake systems for passenger cars commenced with the support of automotive manufactures top managers. The initial outcome of this cooperation lead to production of Paykan boosters and not long after, production of other parts followed through.
