Proton Electric Car To Be Launched in 2027
Proton is a Malaysian automobile
car company that has been concerned with design, distribution, manufacturing, and sales since 1985. Since then, it has made several successful launches
like Proton Saga, Proton Persona, Proton Exora, Proton
X70 and X50, Proton Satria Neo, and a lot more. After all of these,
Proton is planning to come up with Proton electric car in 2027.
Electric cars are getting in the
line to bring a revolution in the field of automotive. Thus, several companies
are digging into creating their models of electric cars. Proton is also one
such company that is planning its Proton electric car in the future. According
to a research analyst, Daniel Wong, Proton will first take “a minor stepping
stone” in the field of hybrid cars. It means that the company is considering
entering the hybrid segment by introducing a basic form of hybrid powertrain
like a mild-hybrid system. Therefore, to get to the track of electric cars,
Proton has decided to choose the path of mild hybrids.
Proton Electric Car Stepping Stone
Proton has been working on mild
hybrid cars for a long time. In November, the company revealed its 1.5-litre
TDI engine with a 48-volt belt-driven starter generator at its Centre of
Excellence (COE) showroom. It generates produces 190 PS and 300 Nm and is
running in Geely Azkarra (Boyue Pro) and Okavango (Haoyue) in the Philippines.
We can expect the same engine in the new Proton seven-seater SUV Okavango.
Customers will get this new model under the name of Proton X90. It would have
come earlier but because of some delays in the orders and supplies issues, the
launch took too long. However, the launch of this hybrid will occur next year.
Proton’s Plans For Future
Proton is ambitious towards its future. The launch of the Proton electric car will occur in 2027 which is too late. Still, the company has high hopes for putting them in flying cars or Self-driving vehicles. Thus, we can expect that the company will come up with some innovative ideas. However, the company has made a great turnover in 2021 by earning a profit of RM216.6 million. The sales increased from 18.6% to 30.8% which makes Proton a future company in the market for automobiles.
