There are two factory's in Malaysia, that produce cars: Proton en Perodua. They are sometimes working together as brother and sister. Although the cars are made in Malaysia, in the car the engine is from abroad. For that part they are working together with Mitsubishi (Japan). That makes Malaysian cars: solid cars!
When I was in Kuala Lumpur, they introduced one of the latest models of the Proton. It was at the feet of the Petronas Towers, that we wanted to visit. So it was a coincidence to be there. The car's name is "Juara" and it is made for transporting little boxes and other small things. The "Juara" is a very colorful car (nice colors) and has a very modern "look". Although the car looks at the pictures very big, is the interior very small. This car has a good future in Asian country's.
Cars are in Malaysia very expensive. Even for the price of a nice second hand car, you could buy a new car in home country. That's why you see a lot of old cars in the street.
It's impossible to let you see all the Malaysian cars. That's why I let you see the latest model of the Proto (Juara) and I show a list with cars they make below.
If you rent a car in Malaysia, you will probably get a Proton Wira with an automatic gear. That's a very handsome car and it will bring you everywhere. We had that car several times

I like the proton 'Savvy'.Funky looking and practical.Aren't Proton cars rebadged Mitsubishi's and Perodua cars rebadged Daihatsu's?.The funky designs of the Perodua cars are similar to Daihatsu's.Here's wishing the Malaysian car industry the very best!!
Nope. Mitsubishi no longer have a stake in Proton. Since Proton Waja, all Proton cars are self-designed and equiped with the Lotus technology. Perodua cars are still rebadged Daihatsu's except for some minor alterations to fit the local market.

PROTON, Petronas in Engine Alliance


KUALA LUMPUR, - Proton Holdings Berhad and Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) will jointly develop larger engines and environmentally friendly alternative fuel systems for use by Malaysia's national automaker.
The memorandum of intent (MOI) will see both parties collaborate and explore the possibilities of further developing Petronas' engines, particularly the compatibility of its E01 engine to Proton's motor vehicles, and the subsequent potential commercialization of the engine.

In addition, the collaboration will also see Proton and Petronas working together in developing a Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) system for Proton's use.

According to Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohd Tahir, managing director of Proton, the collaboration is very beneficial as it meets the objectives of both parties.

"The partnership will fulfill Petronas' desire to further embark on the development and commercialization of the E01 engine technology, and for Proton, we get to introduce a larger engine capacity of between 1.8 to 2.2 liters and an environmentally friendly vehicle in our future cars."
"This is a significant partnership, as it is the collaboration between two GLCs to leapfrog in technology via the sharing of our resources and knowledge."
"Proton will be able to tap into Petronas' ready-to-use engine technology capacity in the most cost efficient manner and within the shortest timeframe possible."

"It also allows us to further strengthen Malaysia's capability in the auto arena."
"In the competitive global market, Petronas' intellectual property in the EO1 engine will go a long way in contributing to Proton's innovation and new product line-up," added Syed Zainal.

Revamp of Proton vendor programme to boost efficiency
By Ashwin Raman


Proton Holdings Bhd’s move to consolidate its vendor programme will enhance the national carmaker's efficiency and improve the quality of its cars, Proton vendors said.

Welcoming the rationalisation exercise, Proton Vendors Association president Dr Wan Mohamed Wan Embong said the vendors would be able to work under a consolidated entity and pool their strengths and resources to take on greater responsibilities such as in design and engineering.

With fewer vendors, he added, the rationalisation exercise would also enable Proton to communicate more regularly with its vendors.

According to him, Proton currently had to deal with too many vendors and the proposed consolidation of 328 vendors to about 40 would help the national carmaker improve efficiency and quality.

Speaking to reporters at a briefing on an upcoming international conference on automotive manufacturing in Kuala Lumpur on April 26, he said the vendors were now discussing how to work together to face the challenge.

Meanwhile, Wan Mohamed said the two-day conference to be held next week would help industry players and policy makers in the region in their networking besides discussing ways of strengthening cooperation among component manufacturers.
