The world is changing and one of the most noticeable is the increasing use of electric vehicles. As the first national vehicle company, Proton does not want to miss out on entering the electric vehicle arena, therefore today Proton New Energy Technology Sdn Bhd (PRO-NET) has been established to handle the sale of new landmark vehicles (NEV).
This subsidiary is led by Zhang Qiang as Chief Executive Officer, Salawati Mohd Yusoff, as Chief Brand Officer (CBO) and Sua Chek Hoong as Chief Information Officer. The first vehicle to be marketed by PRO-NET is the Smart #1 produced by Smarty – also a vehicle company under the Geely umbrella.
This Smart #1 electric car is a four-door compact sedan, comes with a 262 horsepower motor, with a maximum speed of 180 km/h. It also offers a range of up to 440 km on a single full charge – and can be charged up to 80% in 30 minutes via 150 kW DC charging.
