Proton celebrated its 3,000,000th car to roll off the assembly lines at the Proton Technology Week during the weekend. The 3 millionth car is a silver Proton Saga, and will not be sold. It was autographed by the PM and will be kept for memories in a museum.
The first car to roll off Proton’s assembly line was the first generation Proton Saga back in 1985. It’s been 23 years since. That means slightly over 130,000 cars per year.
