Automobile technology that's the pride and symbol of Malaysian innovation and dedication. 1985 marked a momentous year in Malaysia's history when the country's first national car, the Proton Saga, rolled out for the masses. PROTON is more than just a car company as its inception as a key driver of national development has seen the brand accelerate its learning curve through technology transfer with strategic partnerships and technical collaborations.

Today, PROTON continues designing and building cars which has remained an elusive dream for most nations, but made a reality for Malaysia in 1985 and has since been driving the landscape of Malaysia’s automotive industry.
