Proton-Perodua rivalry to boost auto sector in 2018


Popular car: The resounding success of Perodua’s third generation Myvi, which was launched last month, will surely continue to dominate the market well into 2018.

PETALING JAYA: THE Malaysian automotive industry looks set for a much needed shake-up in 2018 following a lacklustre couple of years – as competition between national carmakers Proton Holdings Bhd and Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) intensifies.

The resounding success of Perodua’s third generation Myvi, which was launched last month, will surely continue to dominate the market well into 2018 while former market leader Proton will be determined to reclaim its throne with strategic partner Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co Ltd (Geely) now at its side.
