During the preview drive of the Proton Prevé, we caught up with three key personnel for a chat about the new car, its development and a bit more.
In the first of three videos, Chris talks to Ir. Hj. Tajul Zahari, Proton’s Director of Engineering Division about the technical aspects of the Prevé.
We talked about the Prevé development starting from the Tuah concept. Then, we move to the Hot Press Forming and the safety aspects of the Prevé. He also assures that the CVT can handle the torque of the turbo-charged engine and why that gearbox was chosen instead of the conventional torque convertor or dual-clutch gearboxes.
Tajul also explains what it means to develop a global car and the steps on how the goal can be achieved. But that is not all. Watch the video to know more.
