Malaysia’s electric vehicle industry is gaining momentum as PROTON expands production at its EV plant in Automotive High-Tech Valley (AHTV), Tanjong Malim, supporting the country’s ambition to become a regional xEV manufacturing hub. 🇲🇾⚡🚗

According to the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), the facility involved in assembling the Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV received an initial investment of RM82 million, with another RM37 million set to increase annual production capacity from 20,000 to 42,000 units.
