Bangkok (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - Malaysian automobile manufacturer
Proton (KLSE:5304) is hoping to embark on mass production for its hybrid
car by 2011, said its managing director Syed Zainal Syed Mohamad Tahir
Wednesday.
He said it was being developed through collaboration with its
Britain-based subsidiary Lotus and several component suppliers including
battery manufacturers.
Syed Zainal said several Exora hybrid cars are
currently being tested in Britain and would be shipped to Malaysia by end of December or early next year. Under the second stage, Proton would
assemble hybrid vehicles as government fleet vehicles before going for mass
production in 2011.
