Proton today deployed a range of its electric and hybrid car for running trials by various government agencies. 8 units of test vehicles were handed over today at the ceremony in Putrajaya. Proton chairman, Dato' Nadzmi Salleh handed the car to our Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
The 6 car handed today include 3 units of EV Saga and 5 units of REEV Exora. The Saga, as the name implies is a full-fledge electric vehicles. The charging stations is provided by Proton at ministries office involved in the program as well as providing the home charger system for the personnel assigned to evaluate the car. The Exora MPV meanwhile is the Range Extender Electric Vehicle, which has at least some capability to recharge the depleted battery power on the go.

The Exora REEV will be evaluated by PM office, MITI, KeTTHA, MOT and MOF. The EV Saga meanwhile will be used by MITI, KeTTHA and MOT. Looking forward for their beneficial, constructive, representative and reliable feedback towards assisting Proton in progressing towards mass production stage of these cars.
