Proton overview
Proton history
Proton was established in 1983 as Malaysia's national car project, aiming to accelerate the country's economic development and lay the foundation for a local automotive industry. The first model, the Proton Saga, was launched in 1985, marking the beginning of this ambitious initiative. Over the years, Proton expanded its lineup with models such as the Persona, Wira, and Exora, solidifying its position in the Malaysian market. In 2017, Proton entered into a strategic partnership with China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, enhancing its research and development, manufacturing, and quality capabilities. This partnership enabled Proton to improve its performance and expand its presence in international markets. (proton.com)
