“For the rest of the year, Proton will look for continued sales growth by working closely with our vendors to produce more units of our best-selling models, such as the Proton Saga and Proton S70, while continuing to build our export sales volume,
We are confident of meeting our growth targets while also working towards our other commitments such as the development and introduction of our own EV model in the future,” said Roslan Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer, Proton Edar.
Regarding the global market, on March 13th, Ansa Motors, the Proton importer and distributor in Trinidad and Tobago, held an event at their branch on Charles Street, Port of Spain, to officially introduce the Proton X50 and Proton X90 to the public.
