Ownership & capital
Operating company and parent group, two sources disagreeBoth pages read 21 September 2026; the MAX Holding portfolio entry for Otoban is dated 27 July 2025Conflicting evidence
Two corporate sources name a different parent for the same company, and both were read on 21 September 2026. Otoban's own website states that the operating company is Diesel Ran, that it began work in the Iranian year that ran from 21 March 2021 to 20 March 2022, and that it is known as one of the subsidiaries of Mammut Holding; the same site says a second time, in its own frequently-asked-questions section, that Otoban is one of the subsidiary companies of the Mammut Group. The MAX Holding portfolio page lists Otoban among its portfolio companies in an entry dated 27 July 2025, and Tehran Index has listed Otoban under MAX Holding since June 2026 on the strength of it. Neither party publishes a shareholding. The two attributions disagree and neither is treated as settled.
Otoban, company website otobantruck.com; MAX Holding portfolio page maxholding.co/portfolio ↗ · retrieved 2026-09-21The operator's own site names Mammut Holding as parent of the operating company, Diesel Ran, in two different sections of the same page. The MAX Holding portfolio page, read on 21 September 2026, lists Otoban. Both claimants publish their claim and neither publishes a share register. The two attributions are not mutually exclusive, and the parent is recorded as disputed until the Official Gazette record for Diesel Ran is read. Both pages were opened and read directly on 21 September 2026, and the Persian passage is verbatim from them.
