Proton Car Company

All Proton cars have been built using technology from Mitsubishi, the production of the first car the Proton Saga began to be built in September 1985 at its first manufacturing plant was in Shah Alam, Selangor. Initially all parts of the new cars were entirely manufactured by Mitsubishi but as they wanted to change this slowly local parts were being used as technologies were transferred and skills were gained by the proton team. The 100,000th Proton Saga was produced in January 1989.

Until the end of the 1990s, the car's logo featured the crest from Malaysia's coat of arms, featuring a crescent and a fourteen pointed star. The new Proton logo features a stylized tiger head which was a great improvement.

The 5 door Proton Wira/Persona model was launched in 1993; a model called Proton Wira was introduced based on the Mitsubishi Lancer and colt. More than 220,000 cars were sold between the years of 1996 and 1998. Proton Perdana was based on the Mitsubishi Galant – Eterna and it was first produced in 1995, intended for the higher end market.

By the end of 2002 Proton held a market share of over 60% in Malaysia, which was reduced to barely 30 percent by 2005 and is expected to reduce further in 2008 when AFTA mandates reduce import tariffs to a maximum of 5%.

Proton Waja (Proton Impian in UK) is the first car model designed internally by Proton. It was launched in early 2001 and has sold in good numbers.

The current Proton logo, in text form. With the acquisition of Lotus technologies in 1996 from ACBN Holdings (a company owned by the same person who owned Bugatti), Proton has gained an additional source of engineering and automotive expertise. This lead to the production of Proton Gen-2 which was code name Wira Replacement Model (WRM) before the launch. The Gen-2 is the first of cars to be manufactured and assembled at the new manufacturing plant in Tanjung Malim, Perak which is part of Proton City development project. The plant was opened in 2004. On June 8, 2005 Proton introduced the second model to be manufactured in Tanjung Malim, the 1,200 cc 5-door supermini, the Proton Savvy. Both the Gen-2 and Savvy were models that MG Rover was looking to rebadge when the British firm entered into collaboration talks with Proton. However these joint-venture talks were unsuccessful and MG Rover subsequently collapsed.
