With this Proton has entered the EV category officially. The prime minister of Malaysia Datuk Seri Anwar Abrahim has inaugurated the event and stated that this initiative helps to build & produce the car between the native car manufacturer Proton and the Chinese auto manufacturer Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (49.9% stake held by Geely and the major stake by Proton) in Proton e.MAS7.
