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..

It was reported earlier this month that the Proton X90, which was launched in Bangladesh on February 29, was set for local assembly in the country by the end of this year. This has now been officially confirmed, with CKD operations for the SUV due to start in 2024. This was revealed by Proton CEO Li Chunrong, who said the company was aiming to be a top-three brand in Bangladesh within three years.
A critical component to the carmaker achieving that target in Bangladesh will be the setting up of an assembly line. The company said that aside from allowing its products to qualify for more favourable tax rates, a new plant would also encourage the development of skilled local workers while energising the vendor ecosystem through technology transfers.
It was previously reported that a sum of US$100 million (RM472.9 million) has been allocated for the establishing of a manufacturing facility within the Rancon industrial park. Rancon is a Bangladesh-based conglomerate that is the distributor of Proton vehicles in the country.
Proton said assembly operations will adhere to strict production standards to ensure the output matches the quality of vehicles built in Tanjong Malim. “To ensure product quality in export markets that have local assembly are the same as the vehicles built in Malaysia, Proton is leaning on its experience of using the Volvo Global Quality Standard, which has been instrumental in improving the quality of our products,” Li said.

More than 100 Malaysian parts suppliers and vendors affiliated with Proton are reportedly facing a severe financial strain due to escalating operational expenses as a result of dwindling orders, the New Straits Times reports.
The situation has prompted the Proton Vendors Association (PVA) to reach out to the national automaker, asking it for help in addressing the challenges vendors are encountering. However, the automaker has shown no willingness to address the issue, according to Datuk Liu Guoquan, president of the Malaysian Fujian General Chamber of Commerce.
He said that numerous suppliers and vendors are currently grappling with financial distress, primarily due to dwindling orders recently. He attributed the root cause of the issue to Proton’s failure to fulfill the promised quantity of parts orders for its X50, X70 and X90 models, which had resulted in a 30 to 50% reduction in parts production output.

Echoing these sentiments, an anonymous supplier disclosed that while the original contract from Proton promised to obtain the supply of parts for 1,500 units of the X90 per month, the actual monthly order volume was only between 200 and 300 units.
As a result of this shortfall, Liu said many vendors are experiencing financial losses, forcing some to cease operations altogether. He added that if the situation persists, it could lead to the collapse of many suppliers, affecting around 50,000 employees across the automotive industry chain.
He criticised Proton’s..
