Proton has announced that it exported 1,398 cars in July, saying in a release that its best export month since March 2013 was driven by stronger demand and regional production activities at the Tanjong Malim plant.
“Growing export demand demonstrates the increasing quality of vehicles produced in Malaysia. As regional production activities continue to expand, they will enhance plant utilisation, strengthen our local supply chain and create new opportunities for Malaysian vendors.
“Together with our domestic business, exports will become an increasingly important contributor to Proton’s sustainable long-term growth,” said Proton deputy CEO Datuk Abdul Rashid Musa.
Last year, the national carmaker exported 6,000 units (best since 2012, +26% over 2024), including 2,280 to Egypt and 1,136 to Vietnam. Recent launches abroad include the eMas 5 in Nepal and Singapore, the Saga MC3 in Brunei and the X50 facelift in Trinidad and Tobago and Brunei. Proton’s export target this year is 12,000.

Congratulations to Geely-Proton on this significant export milestone.
Surpassing the export performance of many established brands in Malaysia is a testament to the progress of the local automotive industry and highlights the increasing global relevance of mobility solutions developed through the Geely-Proton partnership.
Looking ahead, Proton could further strengthen its position by introducing more of Geely’s advanced EV, HEV, and PHEV technologies to Malaysia. Notably, Geely’s EV, HEV, and PHEV platforms have received international recognition, including Guinness World Records achievements for efficiency and performance, demonstrating the technological capabilities that could further accelerate Malaysia’s transition towards smarter, cleaner, and more competitive mobility.
Proton is just Geely re-badged. So technically it is just Geely selling their cars but under the Proton brand name, perhaps because they have existing sales agreements with their agents. So really you can’t compare with 2013 or 2012 or whatever. Those days Proton was 100% Malaysian owned so good on them to have sold so many then.
And their target is 12,000 for the year and they have sold 1,398 so far. You have 4 months to make this happen.
1398 in JULY itself. Please learn comprehension.
