In accordance with the macro-policy of Industrial Development and Renovation Organization "IDRO" (affiliated to the ministry of industries) and with the aim of developing new industries for manufacturing engines for motorcycles, NMI was founded in 1985. In 1986, receiving the know-how of motorcycle production from Italian Piaggio company for "Bravo" and "Vespa" motorcycles, NMI proceeded the mass production of these products as the main target.
