Utilization of Smart Systems
To tackle this issue, the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company has recently implemented smart systems. These systems, utilizing modern technologies, allow for more precise monitoring of the fuel distribution and sales process.

Furthermore, improved oversight of fuel distribution can lead to lower fuel prices in domestic markets, ultimately benefiting consumers. Overall, these systems can be considered a significant step towards preventing fuel smuggling and enhancing the country's economic security.
