Proton optimistic of increasing market share to 29% next year

PETALING JAYA: Proton Holdings Bhd is optimistic of increasing its market share to 29% in the financial year ending March 31 (FY10), from 26% in FY09 supported by encouraging car sales.

Group managing director Datuk Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir said Saga sales had exceeded its monthly forecast sales of 4,500 units, achieving about 7,000 bookings monthly.

“And Persona, although launched two and a half years ago, is still doing well with 4,000 bookings monthly. And the bookings for Exora are also good, exceeding 22,600 units since we launched it in April,” he said after the launching of Proton Drive for Holidays campaign yesterday.

He said Proton aimed to close FY10 with sales of 155,000 units (domestic) from 141,958 units in FY09.

“We are blessed that the sales have been more encouraging than the industry outlook where the total industry volume (TIV) in 2009 is expected to be lower than last year’s at 500,000 units,” he said, adding that Proton’s monthly sales stood at 13,000 to 13,500 units.

The TIV for 2008 was 548,115 units.

Syed Zainal Abidin said it had been a good year for Proton and its year-end holiday packages was the company’s way of thanking customers for their support.

“For the first time in 36 months, we were at the number one position for Malaysian car sales for two consecutive months in June and July.

Saga bagged the Best Model of the Year 2009 award at Asia-Pacific Frost & Sullivan Automotive Award and Exora won the Best Local Assembly MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) from the Asian Auto VCA, Auto Industry Award 2009,” he said.

Moving forward, Syed Zainal Abidin said, in response to the revised National Automotive Policy, Proton would intensify its efforts in producing more competitive products for the international and domestic markets.

On the Proton Drive for Holidays campaign, he said it would encourage sales and brand awareness for Proton as well as boost the local tourism industry.

Under the promotion, purchasers of Exora or Persona registered between Nov 1 and Dec 31 would instantly get a free three-day, two-night stay at 33 participating hotels in Malaysia.

The campaign also entitles purchasers of any Proton models registered during the promotional period to enter an SMS contest to win one of seven handphones offered daily.

Winners of the SMS contest will be entitled to participate in MMS contest that offers cash prizes and three-day two-night holiday packages in Malaysia.

Proton targets 115,000 sales by March 2010

MALAYSIA'S national carmaker, Proton, is confident of achieving annual sales of 155,000 units by March 2010 based on current market sentiment.
Mohamad Shukor Ibrahim, the chief executive officer of Proton Edar Sdn Bhd, said for the six months ended September 2009, car sales had already exceeded an initial target of 73,000 units.
Proton Edar Sdn Bhd is the main distribution arm of Proton Holdings Bhd.
"The market is encouraging with signs of consumer confidence in the automotive market," Shukor said during the prize presentation ceremony to winners of the "Proton Drive for Cash" contest.

"Confidence and acceptance in the market towards our brand has increased, and this is evident in the increase in sales numbers," he added.
Even after the festive season, Shukor said, bookings are still strong.
He also emphasised that car buyers have now started to notice how Proton had improved in its products and service quality, as evident from the "hot" selling models, the Persona, Saga and Exora.
On the contest, Shukor said it had successfully met its objective as car sales for June and July, increased impressively to 14,065 units and 15,809 units respectively.
This, he explained, had placed Proton in the top spot for Malaysian car sales, for the said months.
"Apart from cash prizes, the attractive offers under the campaign were also a hit with our customers," he said.
According to Shukor, the contest from June to August this year, received an overwhelming response from customers with cash prizes worth RM50,000 to be won weekly and monthly.
In general, winners were selected based on the creativeness of their slogans.
The monthly winners, who each won RM20,000 for their winning slogans, were Tan Kay Pau from Batu Pahat (June), Loh Kam Fook of Kuantan (July) and Lim Tzaw Feng from Johor Bahru (August).
The Grand Prize winner, Anisah Alias from Kota Bahru who bought a Persona 1.6L, won herself RM50,000 for her winning slogan.
As to developments on a possible tie-up with foreign partners, Shukor said, opportunities are always there for collaboration.
"We are looking at product collaboration. We are also looking at where a partner could add value for us," he explained. -- BERNAMA

Proton Persona in Australia

The 2008 Proton Persona shares only its name with the previous Proton Persona model, a car that was sold in Australia between 1995 and 2005. The new model however is based on the Proton designed and developed GEN.2 platform and uses an improved version of Proton's own Campro 1.6 litre twin cam engine.
New Proton Persona delivers fresh styling, improved build quality and better performance in an economical and low cost package.
Brunei, 8 April– PROTON revved up its export optimisation plans with the launch of Persona in Brunei. The sedan was launched by the High Commissioner of Malaysia to Brunei Darussalam, Dato Ku’ Jaafar Ku Shaari.
The PROTON Persona, which has been driving sales in the domestic market with over 35,000 bookings since its launch on 16 July 2007, was first exported to Singapore in October last year and is expected to be a key factor in PROTON’s export optimisation drive.
Brunei has been a good market for PROTON and the company sees it as a potentially strong growth market and is confident of Persona’s performance in the country.

My Proton Persona

I buy the car last year. the car is was comfortable and great but it acceleration is kind a slow compare to Silver, but it is powerful when it goes up above 100km/hour and when it reach around 180, it still quite stable. Not bad actually, with nice interior design, power window, and reasonable price. I believe this car is affordable and it will become a hits in the market.
In the past, i don’t dare to believe Proton will produce a good car after the incident happen to Waja, Gen-2 but this new addition of Persona was kind a amazed me. hopefully it goes well..hopefully when it being introduce Jeremy Clarkson, he wont said this car is rubbish..as what he said to Silver.

Hero in final stage of talks with Proton to produce small car

    The $4-billion Hero Group, owned by the Delhi-based Munjal family, is in talks with Malaysia’s national carmaker Proton Holding to make passenger cars in India, currently the fastest-growing market in the world.
    An official with the Malaysian High Commission in New Delhi said Proton was in final stages of negotiations with the Hero Group to produce cars in India. The discussions have been going on for the past few months and could lead to a joint venture by the end of the year, he said, requesting anonymity.
A high-level Proton delegation will come to India by the end of this month along with Malaysia’s minister of international trade and industry Datuk Mustapha Mohammad, he added.
The Hero Group — which runs Hero Honda, the world’s largest two-wheeler maker by volumes, along with Japan’s Honda Motor — has been trying to establish a foothold in India’s passenger car market, Asia’s third-largest after China and Japan. The group owns 26% stake in Hero Honda, which sells more than half of the motorcycles sold in India.
“Proton officials came and met us earlier, and there’s nothing more to add,” said Sunil Kant Munjal, chairman of Hero Corporate Service, which manages commercial joint ventures of the group. However, a Hero group spokesperson confirmed that the companies are working on an alliance.

Proton Persona Review in Australia

here’s some review about proton persona in Australia

Will Proton ever be a force in the Australian market? That was the question on journalists' collective minds as they gathered at a chilled, snow-capped Mt Hotham for the launch of the Malaysian car maker's new small sedan.

The new Persona is no longer a recycled Lancer (as was the model sold here from 1997-2004), but a sedan version of Proton's own Gen-2 hatch; a car that we gave two stars and labelled a “work in progress” when it launched here in '05.

Pleasingly, though, it seems Proton have both worked and progressed, because many of the issues with Gen-2 have been addressed with Persona.

Example? Three years ago, a mid-spec Gen-2 M-Line cost $19,500. The new Persona is better equipped, yet costs $16,990. It's a bigger car than rival Barina, Accent, Rio and Yaris sedans (including a huge 430-litre boot) and features 15-inch alloy wheels, front fog lamps, trip computer, climate-control air, and even rear parking sensors, all rarely standard in this class.

Rare, too, is a multi-link rear suspension set-up, where its aforementioned competitors use a cheaper, less sophisticated torsion-beam arrangement.

Tellingly, and in concert with Lotus-tuned suspension and decent Goodyear Eagle NCT rubber (rather than the Gen-2's awful Sime Astars), the Persona proved an agreeable bit of gear over the bumpy backroads and challenging corners of our Victorian high-country drive.

There's a lovely sense of damping finesse over scarred and undulating bitumen, yet the Proton still feels planted and balanced when cornered hard. Although there is initial understeer, smudging the brake pedal mid-corner tightens its line, and allows a nicely controlled full-throttle exit.

Not that there's much beneath the throttle. Proton claims its 1.6-litre 82kW/148Nm Campro four delivers improved low-down torque over the Gen-2, but this is one area where improvement seems negligible. There's still a dreaded No Torque Zone below 3000rpm, and it requires frequent redline excursions to deliver. Which isn't too bad with the sweet-shifting five-speed manual, but is genuinely painful should you choose the slow-reacting $2K-optional four-speed auto.

Fit and finish is still not great either - especially the scratchy plastics - though design changes to Gen-2 mean the funky interior is more practical.

But back to that earlier question. In balancing bargain-hunter pragmatism with a decent dose of driving enjoyment, the new Proton Persona is a good thing that should be popular. Yet just 600 sales are forecast for '08. Proton now need to 'work and progress' on expanding its dealerships and marketing in Australia, for our answer to be an unreserved 'yes'.

Proton Signs Deal With Detroit Electric to Produce Pure Electric Cars

Here's new news about proton persona

Proton has inked a deal with Detroit Electric Holdings (DEH) that will see a raft of Pure Electric Cars (PEV) hit the market in the coming years.

DEH wiill couple its own electric drive systems with Proton platforms to market the enviro-friendly vehicles across the globe.

The Proton Persona and Gen2 have been selected as the basis with assembly of the completed vehicles to take place at Proton’s Tanjung Malim plant.

Syed Zainal, Proton managing director, explained how the deal portrays Protons ability to adapt to a rapidly changing market:

“As a manufacturer, we have to think differently from others and start venturing into new areas where there is potential for growth,”

For DEH, the agreement will allow the company to bring its technology to market faster. Detroit Electric’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Albert Lam, had this to say:

“We chose Proton because of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, commitment to research and development, cost efficiency, and stable, high quality workforce.”

“We are proud to be able to integrate our electric drive systems upon one of the best cars out of Asia. Our customers around the world will enjoy the level of quality and comfort offered by Proton, an award-winning manufacturer”,

DEH plan to sell more than 270,000 Pure Electric Vehicles in Europe, UK, China and the United States by 2013.

Pricing will range from USD $23,000 (AUD $32,300) to USD $26,000 (AUD $36,400) for the city model and USD $28,000 (AUD $39,200) to USD 33,000 (AUD $46,200) for the extended range model.

2008 Proton Persona

While DEH gains a platform, Proton gains the right to sell the PEV as a Proton badged vehicle in the Asean market and possible various countries of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC).

Proton will now begin evaluating the electric drive system for which DEH will bare all warranty and liability responsibilities in the finished product. Proton in turn will handle all issues relating to the vehicle itself.

DEH is also charged with the task of homologation of the PEV for use in European and US markets with scheduled release slated for the second quarter of 2010.

At the heart of the project is DEH’s patented Magnetic Flux Motor Technology and Motor Controller Program.

At present, pre-production vehicles are capable of 180km (112 miles) on a single charge for the city model and 320km (200 miles) for the extended range model.

DEH has further plans beyond basic commuter transport with planned product ranges including high performance sports cars and more luxurious models.

Albert Lam paints a very appealing picture for the future of the PEV industry and the DEH range:

“Our vehicles will be reliable, meet all quality and safety requirements and quite simply outperform internal combustion engine vehicles of the same class, they will be affordable as we look at the competitive market and come without the polluting carbon emissions,”

Electric vehicles have often been touted as the most promising of the environmentally friendly options available.

Agreements such as this will see the technology and public adoption expanding rapidly which is good for consumers and the environment alike.

We’ll bring you more information on Proton/DEH PEV range as work continues so stay tuned

sold in certain countries. It addresses several main flaws of the Gen-2, although the Gen-2 itself remains in sale.

The most noticeable difference of the Persona from the Gen-2 is the a separate, larger boot, making it better suited to the local market, as Malaysians prefer saloons (an obvious fact overlooked by Proton's former management). More importantly, the roofline slopes less, addressing the many complaints on the lack of rear headroom.

Reception
With a more attractive price tag that ranges from RM44,999 to RM55,800 (about RM10,000 cheaper than the equivalent Gen-2), demand of the Persona continues to outstrip supply. Over 2,000 pre-launch bookings were made. Within two weeks after launch, the figure increased to 11,000 bookings. Demand hit close to 19,000 bookings barely 2 weeks later. Originally intending to produce Personas at a rate of 4,000 cars per month, Proton has pledged to ramp up the production to 8,000 units per month to meet the unforeseen demand.

As a result of the Persona's debut, sales for the Proton Waja

significantly slowed down, causing Proton dealers to offer large amounts of discounts up to RM 9,000 to sell off the remaining models of Waja and Gen-2.

sold in certain countries. It addresses several main flaws of the Gen-2, although the Gen-2 itself remains in sale.

The most noticeable difference of the Persona from the Gen-2 is the a separate, larger boot, making it better suited to the local market, as Malaysians prefer saloons (an obvious fact overlooked by Proton's former management). More importantly, the roofline slopes less, addressing the many complaints on the lack of rear headroom.

Interior

The interior was redesigned to incorporate a glovebox

at the dashboard, an accessory that was not available in the Gen-2. The obtrusive analog clock present in the Gen-2's dashboard has also been replaced by a digital one that now resides in the digital display on the instrument panel. In addition, the door trims and panels were modified to feature more ergonomic window switches and door handles, and the pseudo-racing seats were replaced by more conventional and comfortable ones. Fit and finish is noticeably improved a lot and so are the suspension setting as well because it is tuned more to comfort.

A revised version of the Gen-2 launched on March 3, 2008 also incorporates the interior trims of the Persona.

Reception
With a more attractive price tag that ranges from RM44,999 to RM55,800 (about RM10,000 cheaper than the equivalent Gen-2), demand of the Persona continues to outstrip supply. Over 2,000 pre-launch bookings were made. Within two weeks after launch, the figure increased to 11,000 bookings. Demand hit close to 19,000 bookings barely 2 weeks later. Originally intending to produce Personas at a rate of 4,000 cars per month, Proton has pledged to ramp up the production to 8,000 units per month to meet the unforeseen demand.

This has been somewhat offset by the release of the new CPS engine in the Waja and Gen-2, which attempts to place the latter two models in a slightly higher market segment.
