Proton To Focus On High-Growth Markes
Yokohama ,May 20 (Bernama)
Proton Holdings Bhd will focus on high-growth markets like China , India and the Middle East , sait its group managing director ,Datuk Syed Abidin Seyet Mohamed Tahir.
He said Proton hoped to also establish its presence in other markeds with parties it share common goals with.
"Proton is determined to become a recognised and relevant global motor vehicle player , and we acknowledge that the export marked will play a big role in our future as the Malaysian domestic marked growth is saturated," he told Bernama.
Syed Zainal said Proton needed to produce the right cars for the marked and would take into account the regulatory requirements and customer expectations.

Syed Zainal said Proton has was now able to offer its engineering expertise to other parties , and was also currently exploring ' green' initiatives together with the Malaysian government.
" We have also embarked on hybrid and electric vehicle projects in witch our test vehicles are expected to roll out in 2012.
"Green technology requires extensive investments that we feel will become affordable once new battery technology is explored", he said.
He said the extensive research was showing rapid progress and the project with Detroit Eletric was still on-going.
It was reported last year that Proton would manufacture electric cars for eco-conscious markeds in Europe and the US , in a deal with the Netherlands-based company.
