KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s car industry is set for a smoother drive with both national carmakers, Proton Holdings Bhd and Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua), shifting to top gear to become more robust and competitive.

Proton’s alliance with China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co Ltd should be able to address the structural issues faced for so long – small market, lack of economies of scale and costly research and development (R&D).
