Proton's upcoming electric vehicle (EV) plant in Tanjong Malim, Malaysia, is progressing well and is on track to begin production in September 2025. The facility is currently 90.4% complete in terms of building construction, with equipment installation at 83.5%, resulting in an overall progress of 86.9%. The plant will produce multiple models based on the Global Modular Architecture (GMA) platform, with the eMas 7 set to roll off the line in mid-September, followed by the yet-to-be-launched eMas 5. Designed with scalability in mind, the plant will initially have an annual capacity of 20,000 units, ramping up to 45,000 units over time based on local and overseas demand. The new facility will feature specialized areas for battery assembly, high-voltage safety, and electrical testing, tailored for EV production. Proton is working with long-term partner Geely, which has provided technical guidance, assisted with equipment selection, and deployed experts for installation and trial runs, ensuring the plant meets global EV manufacturing standards.

Since its launch in 2017, Petronas Dynamic Diesel Euro 5 fuel formula has been continuously optimized, especially in additives, with upgrades every two years. The latest improvements have significantly enhanced fuel economy (up to 20%), engine cleanliness (99%), and optimized power and smoothness. The key to this upgrade is the "dual cleaner formula" and patented combustion enhancer, which not only cleans the inside and outside of the injector but also forms a protective layer on metal surfaces to prevent carbon buildup. Laboratory data shows a 20% increase in fuel economy, equivalent to an additional 222 km per tank of fuel. In real-world road tests, multiple models showed reduced fuel consumption, with one vehicle achieving a 36% improvement. Additionally, vehicle performance was enhanced, with a 5% increase in acceleration and a 3% increase in overall power output. The new formula also meets industry standards, maintaining engine performance with power loss controlled within 2%. Petronas emphasizes that using its fuel eliminates the need for additional "fuel additives" available in the market.
