Chinese carmaker’s partnership with Proton to create more job opportunities


The strategic partnership that Proton has just sealed with China's Geely will free the national car maker from perpetual government subsidies.

PUTRAJAYA: The entry of a major Chinese carmaker into Proton Holdings Bhd will not only ease its financial woes, but also bring fresh capacity to the group’s underutilised factories.

Zhejiang Geely Automotive Co Ltd plans to turn Malaysia into its global hub to manufacture all of its right-hand drive cars, including its premium Volvo brand.
