Proton has started delivering the first batch of its new Proton Saga taxi, powered by a 1.6 litre version of the Campro engine instead of the 1.3 litre version that consumers can purchase. While the initial batch will run on petrol only, the Saga taxi will be updated in December 2008 with a factory-installed and warrantied NGV kit.
This first delivery of the Saga taxi will fulfill new orders from Public Cab Sdn Bhd, KCM Fleet Sdn Bhd, Avenue Drive (M) Sdn Bhd and Perniagaan Lima Sejati Sdn Bhd. According to Public Cab, the company currently has 1,500 units of the Proton Iswara taxi on the road and intends to replace all of them with the new Proton Saga taxi in stages.
