Volkswagen to Build Cars in Malaysia, will Start with the Passat from 2011

The Volkswagen Group on Tuesday signed an agreement with Malaysia's DRB Hicom auto group for local vehicle assembly as the Wolfsburg-based automaker seeks to expand its operations in Southeast Asia under the Strategy 2018 growth program. The announcement came after VW abandoned alliance talks with Malaysian state-owned carmaker Proton earlier this year for undisclosed reasons.
The one billion ringgit ($318 million) deal with DRB Hicom will see VW beginning the assembly of Passat models from the end of 2011 with an initial annual capacity of "several thousand vehicles." The German carmaker said it plans to build further models for the Malaysian market on the basis of a local full scale production in a second expansion phase from the end of 2012.
"Developing the market potential of the ASEAN region is of major significance for the Volkswagen Group’s long-term growth strategy," said Christian Klingler, Member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG. "We will be using existing structures and capacities at the DRB Hicom plant in Pekan to systematically extend our presence in the Malaysian market of the future."
The Malaysian joint venture will be Volkswagen's second in the Asean region, as the German company set up assembly operations in Indonesia for the production of the Touran in 2009

New Proton Gen2 Specification

New Proton Gen2 Specification 



This morning, while waiting at a red light crossroad in South Jakarta, there is a looks-like sport car that caught my eye. There are rear spoilers who in turn make it look sporty hatchback and it turns out it was a Proton car, a Malaysian car. Curious, I continued to watch and it became clear that it is a new Proton Gen2. Finally, I get information from Proton sales person that New Proton Gen2 indeed already present in Indonesia since mid of March 2010.



Proton Edar Indonesia (PEI) as sole distributor of Proton cars has released the new car of New Proton Gen2 (facelift) equipped with engine 1.6 liter Campro IAFM. The IAFM system improves the performance of torque on Campro engine and delivers sufficient torque for acceleration. The New Proton Gen2 with the IAFM Campro 1.6 produces 110 horsepower at 6,500rpm and 148Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. Torque at an engine speed of 3,000rpm is 139Nm, while the previous Campro only delivered 128Nm of torque at that engine speed.

Proton has made further value-added changes to the facelift model which includes new interior trim, large cargo space with foldable rear seat and removable rear shelf trim; glove box, extra storage and compartments. The New Gen2 facelift is equipped with driver’s airbag. From exterior, other additional features of the Proton Gen2 facelift include new bumper and grille, front skirt, black headlamp bezel, side sill molding, alloy rims, rear skirt and rear spoiler.





Engine performance of the Proton Campro 1.6 IAFM engine produces the same peak torque and horsepower as the previous Campro, however, it has had its low to mid range torque boosted to eliminate the torque dip. The IAFM varies intake manifold length to suit different engine conditions – a short runner length for high revs and a long and narrower runner length for low revs.

The New Proton Gen2 is designed to enhance an engine’s torque curve that also helps to improve the combustion process; making the engine more fuel efficient. This is a development from the current Campro engine, which has rather relatively low torque at low to medium engine speeds. The new intake manifold is made of reinforced high thermal plastic which is lighter than the current Campro’s aluminum intake manifold.




Similar with other products of Proton cars such as Neo, Exora, Saga and Savvy, the New Proton Gen2 also has Lotus ride and handling technology from Lotus cars that applicable in under carriage system i.e.: suspension to more comfort and stable during drive the car.





On the road price for Jakarta area for Gen2 manual transmission is IDR 151,000,000 and automatic transmission is IDR 161,000,000. Gen2 Facelift comes in seven colors – solid red, solid white, genetic silver, tranquility black, passion blue, energy orange, and metal grey.

The Proton Persona was first launched in August 2007 in Malaysia, and soon after arrived in Australia. In its home country Malaysia the car was ordered by over 2,200 people before it was released, giving the car maker a big confidence boost. A couple of months later, Proton revealed the car to the Australian market and now it has been released in the UK and will be on sale by the end of the month.
In the UK the new model will be known as the Gen-2 Persona (instead of just Persona in Malaysia and Australia) and is powered by the new 1.6 liter Campro engine, engineered by UK-based sister company Lotus. The engine produces 110 bhp and 148 Nm of torque which is put to the road through a 5 speed manual or 4 speed automatic gearbox.
