AV Ventures Sdn Bhd has received a Letter of Intent from Proton to develop and supply components such as steering, wiper and washer and window regulator systems for Proton’s new MPV.
According to the report by The Edge, supply for these components would commence sometime in Q1 2009, so I think we can expect the new Proton MPV to arrive on schedule. On a side note, we now know who to curse if the new MPV’s power windows fail

“On a side note, we now know who to curse if the new MPV’s power windows fail”
av venture is wat company?
have good track of record of quality product?
Hahaha good one Paul!!!
Now Proton has to compete with Perodua-Again!!! The show begins…
AV Ventures. O.o
Last I heard of this company is an empty company controlled by someone related to Repco Lau.
Unsure though, maybe it’s different one.
But the AV Ventures I knew is dealing in parts too.
Was this one of the companies that obtained a High quality product rating Proton did on its vendors few years ago?

well its still march now…kind of still having at least 8 months b4 the launch. so i think they do have enuf of time to build up the stock, its an mpv anyway, proton also nvr expect stock volume will be as much as saga. m i rite?
haha true true…. Wah Perodua coming up new MPV in 2009 as well as proton ar?
if proton now 1 them to supply the parts, tat means the car is already developed…jz need to find suitable materials..
tat means we should be getting some spyshots in about september or october perhaps?
all the best proton!!

Since most MPVs here are for the balik kampung purposes, why not name it as Jaguh Kampung instead…?
I suppose the MPV will be using a newly designed steering. I hope it will be better compared to the current hard ‘lotus-inspired’ steering.
yes, proton is moving on the correct position.
MVP is what we expecting
I really wonder how Proton is going to price the new MPV…
you can see the proton mpv image in the paul tan’s automoive forums under malyasian makes!
I know!! I know how Proton can solve the power window failure once and for all……
DON’T USE ANY WINDOW MECHANISM AT ALL.
(EXCUSE TO USE: ALL WINDOWS ARE FIXED, FOR SAFETY PURPOSE. Heck can even cut cost too)
Another crony vendor for Proton? This is the real situation here. Bribery, incompetent vendor. hopefully with the new era of political tsunami, it will be more open tender.
hahaah.. nice joke on window..
PROTON KPG.. (kereta pelbagai Guna) or
i much await for this car… just to see… is it going to be 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0..
my “wish” is..below 70k, comparable spec to wish and not avanza..
“I know!! I know how Proton can solve the power window failure once and for all……”
to be fair, the current new crop of proton cars are no longer known for power window failures to the level of what we used to see in the past. i have friends who drive the current gen2 and waja, even the neo and savvy who have not had any power window failures even up to almost 2 years of ownership.
what’s the company’s track record? i hope they were not the ones who supply power windows to the Wira or Iswara!
and which company will supply Diesel ???
my family iswara now 3 years… yet no power windows or central lock problem… yeeaaa…
nice car.good job
AV Ventures Corp Berhad, better look or type this name at Yahoo, then u can look their company.
From what i can see, AV Ventures was once the supplier for Proton in the year 1992 and 1994, got a lot of award, from Proton and also UMW, by that year, Proton do not have any quality issue with the parts rite?
So i thk it is wise to choose them !
