MALAYSIA’S automotive maker Proton has appointed car dealer Vincar to distribute its first electric vehicle (EV) in Singapore.
The Proton e.MAS 7 is slated to launch in Singapore early next year, and Vincar said on Monday (Dec 16) that it is planning test drives for the media and public previews to coincide with its release.
It will also set up Proton e.MAS’ flagship showroom in Singapore’s Leng Kee automotive belt and oversee its after-sales services, including warranty coverage.
The Proton e.MAS 7 was launched in Malaysia on Monday, the latest entry into the local market as the country seeks to boost EV and hybrid-EV use, and gain a foothold in the global supply chain.
Proton is majority-owned by Malaysian conglomerate DRB-Hicom, with the remaining 49.9 per cent stake held by Chinese carmaker Zhejiang Geely.
