National carmaker Proton is expecting to release its electric vehicle model in 2025, and this will be an all-new model that is co-developed by Proton and Geely, and it will not be a rebadged version of an existing model, Proton deputy CEO Roslan Abdullah has said.
The upcoming, fully electric model from this joint development may spawn both a Geely version as well as a Proton version. This has completed its design and prototype stages, and it is currently undergoing testing, Roslan said. As for the segment of the EV, “We will let you know closer to the time of its launch,” the deputy CEO said, also not revealing the upcoming model’s bodystyle.
There will likely be a staggered release of announcements regarding Proton’s EV model, and the deputy CEO cites the smart brand’s introduction as an example, where announcements were made for the start of production, opening of bookings, and the like.
In this EV model’s joint development with Geely, Proton is contributing to the model’s R&D with input for its use in the Malaysian environment, Roslan said. Given the co-development between the two companies, there could be both a Geely version as well as a Proton version, the former being for other markets.
Regardless of the brand, all versions of the upcoming co-developed EV will initially be manufactured in China because manufacturing this model in Malaysia will require new facilities, said Roslan.
“The Malaysian government wants to ..

Perodua ‘MyEV’ rendered based on the 2023 EMO ConceptEarlier this year, minister of international trade and industry Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz revealed on X that Perodua was scheduled to begin mass production of its first EV at the end of 2025, which is just in time for the eventual lifting of price cap protection measures.
The MITI minister reiterated that timeframe once again in another post on X earlier today, having met with senior Perodua executives, including president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, yesterday to find out more about the development of the automaker’s EV project and how the government could help to make the project a success.
While repeating the point about Perodua’s appointment as the lead in the production of affordable EVs under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030), Zafrul did not indicate how far development has progressed on the project.
Previously, he had intimated that the automaker had developed an electric-powered prototype in cooperation with an ‘international automotive company’, which while not named is undoubtedly Perodua’s technical partner and shareholder, Daihatsu.
Virtually nothing is known about P2’s electrification project, with the company not having stated what sort of EV is being planned for the market. So far, whatever indicators there have been point to a hatchback-styled offering, with the strongest hint coming from the Electric Motion Online (EMO) concept th..

Proton has announced the official opening of the Exclusive Proton Accessories Tint Centre, which is located within the carmaker’s manufacturing facility in Tanjung Malim, Perak.
The opening of the vehicle tinting centre marks the expansion of the brand’s vehicle tinting services, which now enables the fitting of window tints for up to 5,000 vehicles a month, directly at the factory.
Window security tint was introduced as a standard-fit accessory on the Flagship and Premium variants of the Proton X90 at the model’s debut, followed by the Proton S70 sedan which also received window security tint as standard, stated Proton. The window tint film option will be offered to other models in the Proton range in the near future, the company added.
These are compliant with road transport department (JPJ) regulations and eliminate secondary defects which are commonly associated with aftermarket installations of window tint, says Proton, through a better precision fit with the use of pre-cut dies, with these benefits cited as advantages of having window tints installed by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
All window tint film service carried out in-house by Proton are covered by a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, according to the company.
“The launch of our new tint centre in Tanjung Malim is a significant step towards Proton’s commitment to delivering quality products and more value to our customers. By taking responsibility for the fitment pro..

Proton Tanjong Malim’s solar power initiative has secured the top spot in the ‘Renewable Energy’ category under the ‘On Grid (National Grid)’ segment of the National Energy Awards (NEA) 2023. First unveiled two years ago, the initiative features the largest parking lot bi-facial solar panel facility in Malaysia and has helped the carmaker not only achieve, but exceeds its initial sustainability goals.
Spearheaded by the ministry of energy transition and water transformation, the NEA is held annually to recognise organisations that adopt sustainable energy concepts and practices that are in line with Malaysia’s target of becoming a net zero carbon emissions country by 2050. The recent NEA ceremony was officiated by deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof and had four categories.
According to Proton, since the commissioning of the bi-facial solar panels from May 2021 to January 2024, the facility as well as solar panels fitted to the factory roof have helped the Tanjong Malim plant reduce CO2 emissions be reduced by 32,406 tonnes. This is higher than the initial forecast target of 11,536 tonnes per year and is said to be equivalent to offsetting around 893,000 trees.
To-date, the solar panels have generated 45.78 GWh and reduced the facility’s electricity cost by 11% in 2023 with savings of more than RM10 million. Built and commissioned by Pekat Group and its associate MFP Solar, the parking lot solar panel facility spans 23.4 acres and provides shelt..
