    On achieving impressive sales results, Roslan Abdullah, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, PROTON commented, “PROTON’s Q3 performance was our best quarter of the year, coming in with 42,229 units for the previous three months. This was made possible by a combination of stability in our production numbers as well as the continued strong appeal of our models, especially for the 2022 Proton Saga and the Proton X50. Therefore, despite the poor start to the year, we are confident of achieving a fourth consecutive year of double-digit sales growth.”

    “Aside from concentrating on sales growth, the last quarter also saw us laying the groundwork for our future growth. The General Distributorship Agreement with smart sets us up to sell EVs from the brand starting in 2023 while the formation of PRO-NET crystalises PROTON’s commitment to developing and offering new energy vehicles in the future,” he added.

    Other than that, the company also witnessed impressive growth in loan disbursements.   With the strong demand for Proton cars, the brand’s subsidiary, Proton Commerce Sdn Bhd disbursed 2,872 loans in September, breaking the previous record set in March 2022. The total loans secured in 2022 now stand at 15,504 with a 6.5% hike over the total disbursements made in the whole of 2021. 

    “With the OPR increasing by 75bps this year, customers are actively searching for the best packages available to finance their new car purchases. As the preferred financier for Proton vehicles, Proton Commerce offers a range of innovative deals including the lowest rates for Proton Saga buyers as well as low monthly income requirements. These moves have proven to be effective, so we are expecting more growth in Q4 this year,” added Roslan Abdullah.
