Proton has officially been appointed as one of the official vehicles for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022, which is set to take place from September 10 to 25. The national automaker’s entire current line-up will form the roster, which includes the Saga, Iriz, Persona, Exora, X50 and X70.
To mark the occasion, Proton is rolling out a nationwide campaign to spread awareness of the games (Asia’s largest multi-sports event), which will see our local athletes compete against other nations.
Kicking off the campaign is the “Proton Ignite Your Life” contest, where customers can be in the running to win the grand prize of an exclusive trip to Hangzhou to experience the games in person. Other monthly prizes include e-vouchers for sporting products as well.
Company deputy CEO, Roslan Abdullah said: “As one of the official vehicle brands of the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022, Proton is proud to invite Malaysians to join us in expressing support for the national team to help drive them to victory, besides embracing our identity as part of the Asian family.”
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Truly a great partnership that values each other, Geely bringing Proton’s name up even higher.
In contrast, cannot imagine Toyota would willing to bring Perodua to the recent Olympics. Unlike Proton/Geely partnership, Perodua is just a tool to sell outdated cars in poor countries.
Motorsports events are not in Olympics & Asian Games. So why bother?
Formula 1 also don’t use analog watches to gauge time so why use Omega and now Rolex?
Dia org syok sendiri kot??
Fianlly Ploton in China!
For a country that has not much friends left, this is an attempt to bodek us Malaysians.
Malaysian is just a small potato for China!
When you have nothing to eat, a small potato decides if you live until tomorrow.
Yes. Geely’s 49.9% stake in Proton is only a small potato.
I have to say, this is a big deal.
This is weird bcuz you go & see the Hangzhou Games website, they appoint Geely as their Prestige partners
Yes Proton is just proxy Geely
There will be proxies in any partnerships, one has to give the other. Not unlike Renault appointing bosses to Nissan who in turn appoint bosses to Mitsu.
So RHD cars will be used there?
There is Saga & Persona LHD, and Iriz is basically follow Persona. Only Exora I not sure got LHD version or not.
wait a minute, Proton is right hand drive, while China is left hand drive.
like that can ah?
Go to China to show our China cars there. Memalukan!
Saga, Persona, Iriz & Exora are China cars? Joke of the day! Paraphrase you: Memalukan!
He talking abt X50, X70 la…
It is a great honour for Proton and Malaysia.
As an owner of Proton myself, I am indeed very proud of the great news.
Keep it up Proton !!
‘Keep it up’ pun ada makna lain tu…
For action film that doesn’t have car chases, gun fights, brawling, dangerous stunts.. Different kind of ‘action’, you know, I know…
Makna lain;
Keep it up = jia yao = gambatte = terus usaha
Malaysians been buying overprice European, American and Japanese car for decades…..this is what REAL partnership looks like. Go Geely/Proton!!
