Rundingan dan Jalinan Volkswagen-Proton Ditamatkan - TVS

Rundingan bagi kemungkinan jalinan pakatan antara pembuat kereta Jerman, Volkswagen dan pengeluar kereta nasional, Proton dibatalkan.

Dalam satu kenyataan ringkas hari ini, Proton berkata Volkswagen mengesahkan yang syarikat itu kini mempunyai keutamaan lain dan potensi kerjasama dengan pembuat kereta Malaysia itu tidak boleh diteruskan.

Sebagai satu daripada pengeluar peralatan tulen (OEM) terbesar dalam industri, Proton berkata Volkswagen, yang ditubuhkan pada 1937, akan menjadi rakan kongsi kerjasama yang menarik bagi Proton.

Proton berkata syarikat menerima keputusan Volkswagen itu.

Namun begitu, syarikat akan meneruskan strateginya dalam OEM tempatan dan pelbagai negara Asean. Ini termasuk kerjasama produk dengan pengeluar kereta Jepun, Mitsubishi, projek EMAS dan pembangunan model baharu yang lain.

Proton, yang mencatatkan peningkatan jualan bagi model Saga, Persona dan Exora, berkata syarikat kekal komited untuk mengukuhkan kehadirannya di China melalui kerjasama dengan Youngman.

Memanfaatkan momentum yang amat baik bagi keputusan tahun kewangan 2009/10, Proton berkata syarikat juga meninjau untuk menembusi pasaran Asia yang dalam masa terdekat serta terus mengukuhkan kedudukan dalam negara.

Proton, yang ditubuhkan pada 1983, merupakan pengeluar automobil terbesar Malaysia dan satu-satunya pengeluar kereta OEM sepenuhnya di Asia Tenggara.

Syarikat itu mempunyai operasi di pasaran utama dari UK hingga Timur Tengah, serta seluruh Asia Tenggara dan Australasia, terutama di negara-negara seperti China, India dan Iran.

Proton R3 Malaysia Rally Team with Neo S2000 and Karamjit / Jagdev Officially launched! - paultan.org



Proton officially launched its new Proton R3 Malaysia Rally Team yesterday. The team will run one of those new Proton Satria Neo Super 2000 rally cars and it will be piloted by a team that needs no introduction: Karamjit Singh and Jagdev Singh as driver and navigator respectively. The Neo recently finished 4th place at the Intercontinental Rally Challenge in Russia, driven by Guy Wilks.

“It has been quite a while but we’re now ready to return to the rally motorsports arena. With the Neo S2000 and our long time associate Karamjit, we are sure that we will put up a strong challenge in this championship. What the car has achieved thus far while still in the developmental stage has been extraordinary,” said Proton chairman Dato Mohd Nadzmi.

When asked about his thoughts on the race, Karamjit said he was concerned that his left-hand drive Proton Satria Neo S2000 has him at a disadvantage. “If the car was right-hand-drive I would be confident and able to attack. It’s a fabulous car and the tricky Stages I can handle. I just don’t feel comfortable so I’ll be taking it easy to ensure we finish,” Karamjit said after completing the reconnaissance earlier today.

Rallying has done wonders for Subaru and Mitsubishi in their brand building efforts and Proton is also using the rally scene as a platform to showcase their cars, namely the Satria Neo Super 2000. The Neo will race at the Rally of Malaysia this weekend, and will move on to Indonesia on the 3rd to 4th October and then the China Rally on the 14-15 November.

Wilks and Pugh to Pilot Proton Satria Neo Super 2000 in the Intercontinentan Rally Challenge - paultan.org





The Proton Satria Neo S2000 will be participating in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, and Proton officially unveiled its line-up at the 2-day Rally Show festival (6th and 7th June), held at the ground of the Chatsworth House.

The Satria Neo Super 2000 will be pilot by a team consisting of two-times British rally champion Guy Wilks and co-driver Phil Pugh. The S2000 car was designed and built by British team Mellors Elliot Motorsport (MEM).

“We are very excited to have Guy Wilks driving for Proton in the IRC. After his stunning performance in the recent Pirelli Rally, we are positive about our capabilities to put up a strong challenge. MEM has done a great job with the Proton Satria Neo S2000 and we will continue to improve as the year progresses,” said Proton MD Dato’ Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir.

“This is fantastic news and a fantastic opportunity. Proton and MEM are highly ambitious but also very realistic as newcomers. We need to make progress in every round and be ready to fight for the championship in 2010,” said Guy Wilks.

The Proton Satria Neo Super 2000 uses the Satria Neo’s chassis and a 2.0 liter engine which is derived from a 1.8 liter Renault engine, similiar to the one you will find in the Waja 1.8X. It produces 278 horsepower at 7,600rpm.

The IRC uses the standard FIA points system: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. The best seven scores added together will decide final championship results. There are 7 races remaining this year - Belgium Ypres Rally, Rally Russia, Rali Vingo Madeira, Czech Republic, Spain, Rally Sanremo and finally Scotland. All are Asphalt rallies except Russia and Scotland.

Proton Exora 7-seater MPV interior details revealed!

Proton Edar’s Proton Exora teaser page reveals how the Exora’s seats and seating configuration looks like. The seats are in the typical three-row MPV 2-3-2 order for 7 seats, and Proton claims them to be suitable for full adult seating.

From the looks of it every seat (wrapped with leather) has its own headrest, and Proton says there are also individual air conditioning blowers for each row. From the details revealed at the Proton Technology Week, it is revealed that the dedicated air conditioning vents for the 2nd and 3rd rows will be located at the ceiling of the Proton Exora MPV. The 2nd and 3rd row of the Proton Exora can also be folded in 6 flexible configurations, and it looks like the 2nd row’s middle seat can be folded down as an armrest. There will be a total of 10 cupholders in the MPV, which is more than 1 for each seat, so there should be more than enough space to keep one’s drinks on a road trip.

As previously revealed, the steering wheel will feature audio controls but there is no mention yet on what the phone button is for. The Proton Exora will have an overhead LCD player that can read VCDs and DVDs along with a variety of other storage devices such as devices using USB input, and a memory card slot that supports SD and MMC. This will likely be available only in the high spec model.

Speaking of specification levels, Proton has also revealed tentative prices for the Proton Exora on its booking page. The tentative pricing are RM 72,000 for the M-Line model with an automatic transmission, and RM 76,000 for the H-Line model with an automatic transmission. This is well under the RM 80,000 maximum figure previously quoted. So far only prices for automatic transmission models have been revealed but if the automatic M-Line is 72K, a manual transmission M-Line could go under RM70k if Proton decides to make such a model available. But I feel manual is a must for the Proton buyer segment, and I am pretty sure their product team knows this too.

Bookings for the Proton Exora just opened yesterday and Proton Edar reported over 350 bookings. Proton managing director Datuk Syed Zainal hopes to achieve between 4,000 to 5,000 bookings before the April launch date, which gives them roughly over a month to go.

There have also been other details on the Exora revealed over the past few months, please read our previous coverage on the Proton Exora to find out more exclusive details!
