Continuing from yesterday’s signing between Proton and the Malaysian Automotive Institute (MAI) to pool resources for vendor development, the national carmaker today organised the first signing of collaboration agreements between eight Malaysian vendors and their Chinese counterparts for the local production of the X70 SUV, including joint ventures and technical assistance between these companies.
The vendors that will partner up with each other are Delloyd Industries Malaysia and Hubei Tri-ring Auto-electric Appliance, Hicom Teck See Manufacturing Malaysia and Jiangsu Xinquan Automotive Trim, MTV Digital Technology and Tianjin Bodun Electronics, Multi-Code Electronics Industries Malaysia and SH SIIC Transportation Electric, and Delloyd Alpha and Ningbo Xinpin Auto Parts.
Also signing agreements are Delloyd Electronics and Avic Guiyang Wanjiang Aviation Electromechanical, Proreka and Ningbo Fushi Automotive Components, and Xenso Electronics and Shenzhen Jiuzhou Zhuoneng Electric. Ningbo Tuopu Vibro-acoustics Technology, a Chinese auto parts developer and manufacturer, will also be setting up shop in Malaysia on its own to produce components for Proton.
The agreements is set to bring an initial investment of RM170 million to Malaysia – an amount that is expected to multiply as Proton’s manufacturing volume is set to grow over the coming years – and should result in around 450 new jobs. The initial local content target for the CKD X70 is 30%. It will grow to 40% before exports to ASEAN markets start.
Proton said the signing is the first step towards building a supplier base capable of meeting the technology and quality standards of Proton’s next-generation vehicles, developed in partnership in Geely. It is also part of the company’s commitment to grow its domestic and export sales, as it turns its Tanjung Malim headquarters into a research, development and production hub for right-hand drive models within the Geely Group.
The X70 is one of three new Geely-based models set to be introduced in the near future, the others being a B-segment SUV based on the Bin Yue and an MPV based on a soon-to-be-launched three-row model, codenamed VF11. The Boyue-based X70 will be launched in November this year in fully-imported (CBU) form, before CKD local assembly kicks off next year.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
How come the same over charging vendors are involved? I thot Dr.Li wants to get rid of these deadwood? Just amazing…u r supposed to get 30 percent reduction in pricing for parts from these dudes?
if im not wrong, they are still here because they have committed to giving what Proton under Dr.Li’s leadership has asked for. Vendors who didn’t want to commit to the new terms are out.
The same vendors that supplied my Saga shitty plasticky door panels, steering wheel that won’t horn, power windows that sounds like someone slaughtering a cat and a dashboard that gives me rickety music ? ..and my Saga is less than 2 years old.
It is the same vendor that supply p2 for their car oso lol..
Jepunis alpat and velfaiya dashboard when hot day can even melt. Jepunis makes car much worse dashboard than plasticky saga dash
Not sure whether to clap or mourn … Seeing Malaysians obediently kowtowing to a foreigner. Same goes to those still working at Proton HQ .
That’s what you do when you are weak. Be strong if you want others to kowtow to you.
These r the initial vendors that has reduce their prices.
Why all China companies only reduce the price? Looks like they want to be more competitive and give Malaysians good value for money
Faulty power windows no more.
No power window problem since 2008. Please come to the present timeline.
Li Chunrong should not bother with existing Proton vendors. This is because for over 30 yrs, Proton’s vendors and suppliers have been cheating Proton with super low quality parts with super high prices.
This is why Proton’s name became busuk and Proton went into multiple bailouts and bankruptcy.
In actual fact, Proton cars were very good nd the concept of Proton was very good for Malaysians but because these very same suppliers busuk Proton’s name so much, Proton went down the drain.
Li Chunrong should be careful and not allow these same crooks to busuk Geely name. Li Chunrong should source the parts either from either directly from China or ask the China manufacturers to open up factories in Malaysia for trustworthy relationship as what they are doing above.
Ple get a fresh list of 30 Proton vendors and suppliers and do not go back to the ones that cheated Proton the past 30 years.
P2 use the same vendor have no problem.
Agree, actually dr Li is very rite bcos not all vendors r spoilt some they just don’t ve enough $ & technology so by joint venture will settle the problem…
Lucky China has come and saved Proton and is currently saving Malaysia in other sectors.
We need more people from Mainland like Li Chunrung to not only run our GLCs but also fill up Putrajaya so that things will run faster and more efficiently.
In less than 5 years, we will definitely be First World with such hardworking manpower

Toyota Rush is coming, Proton X70 aka Geely Boyue definitely is out.
What a funny comparison, the fact is X7 will beat Rush up side down!
Toyota Rush, 100 hp, 136 Nm torque
X7, 181 hp, 285 Nm torque
Nobody was ‘rushing’ for the old Rush and neither anybody is ‘rushing’ for the new Rush. This Rush can stay in Jurassic World called Toyota showrooms.
Bro, everyone will get X70 or Toyota Rush, so nobody ever buys Honda BR-V with only two airbags, lousy Honda models quality, bad service quality in Honda Malaysia and bad assembly quality in Honda Malaysia
Everyone are rushing to get new Rush or Proton X70
Don’t keep in Jurassic world. Sell to me 1985 Toyota price. RM25k. I take Rush
Becareful what you wished for. It was a dangerous thing back then and even more dangerous now, with the lack of safety.
Toyota Rush is a reskinned Avanza, the van with a bonnet or hood. Go figure.
Slave Master, Please lah, do not open ur mouth unto gear b4 sending it to ur big brain of yours What u r saying now belittle these vendors of Proton whom u hv accused to kow towing to a foreigner I presume u r jealous of these successful businessmen who dare to dream n not afraid to venture where ppl like u r afraid to venture or incapable of doing any business
Hope power window ok this time.
Delivery on time?? Payment on time or not.. always delay only…
