Proton offering RM500 fuel card to e-hailing car buyers

National carmaker Proton is offering a Petronas fuel card worth RM500 for customers who are e-hailing drivers. Buyers who purchase a new Persona, Iriz, Exora, Saga or X70 from authorised Proton sales outlets will be eligible for the fuel card offer once the submit a copy of a valid PSV e-hailing license as proof, and the new vehicle is to be registered under the applicant’s own name.

Alternatively, buyers may opt for a price rebate of the same value instead of the fuel card. On top of that, additional rebates are being offered on selected Proton models, ranging from RM300 to RM1,500. This promotion will run until December 31, 2020, and is also applicable to customers who are purchasing the vehicle for another driver to use for e-hailing, says Proton.

In this instance, the buyer will need to submit a letter of consent stating the purpose of the vehicle’s purchase, as well as the full name and IC number of the driver who will be using it for e-hailing purposes, and a copy of their PSV e-hailing license.

“We want to make it easier for the latter group to purchase a Proton to be used for e-hailing. Therefore, if the buyer is the wife and the driver is the husband, we just need valid documentation for verification to approve the purchase, said Proton Edar head of corporate sales Fazli Hisham Shukor.

This promotion is also aimed at incentivising car buyers for the use of their vehicles in the e-hailing industry as a means of supplementing their incomes, as well as to ease the decision-making process for those new to the industry and current drivers who are looking to replace their existing vehicles, said Proton.

      This shows that Proton are struggling to sell their cars even via e-hailing. Even if Proton offer free RM500 fuel card, people will still prefer Game-Changing Perodua cars as P2 cars have excellent FC. Get free fuel card also useless because Proton Game Over engine drink fuel like a V12 engine

        Personally I would avoid e-hailing or SOCAR related until covid19 vaccine is found …

          Not exactly john, it is actually Game-Changing Geely who showed that they care for Proton owners. This is why Geely donated their Game-Changing N95 cabin filter to Proton. So it should be Geely > Proton

        • Cared – shows a track record, meaning P1 was caring up to now and basing on track record will continue to care. (ie P1 cared for customers).

          Care – a present situation that neither has historical precedent or reliability it will continue. (ie P2 care about owners since they die so often in their cars).

          Caring – a future based on reliable assumptions. (ie P1 will continue caring based on their track record cared for owners, P2 will caring only for customers money and not their lives).

          Capische?

          Should be like this:

          Cared – shows a track record, meaning P1 was caring up to now and basing on track record will continue to care. (ie P1 cared for customers while P2 cared for bodoh sombong salespersons and their top management fat perks and bonus only).

          Care – a present situation that neither has historical precedent or reliability it will continue. (ie P2 care about owners since they die so often in their tin coca-cola cars plus with it’s horrible braking system esp. Auto version – trust me, i ‘test drove’ numbers of P2 automatic cars esp. Mivee and OMG, all of these car everytime i need to brake so damn hard and deep, even with ABS brakes just to slow down the vehicle reasonably. Another thing is P2 care about owners by dropping manual version in their car lineup and don’t know how to put an engine temperature gauge).

          Caring – a future based on reliable assumptions. (ie P1 will continue caring based on their track record cared for owners, P2 will caring only for customers money since their cars always rosak here and there and not their lives).

        I can’t wait for GST to come back when car prices went lower, the first time ever in history.
