It’s able to provide you and your passengers with clean air, which is one step ahead in staying healthy and strong in uncertain times like these. That being said, it is unable to kill viruses that linger on surfaces, so it’s best to keep those hands sanitised!

“We want to make it easier for the latter group to purchase a Proton to be used for E-hailing. Therefore, if the buyer is the wife and the driver is her husband, we just need valid documentation for verification to approve the purchase,” said Fazli Hisham Shukor, Head of Corporate Sales, Proton Edar.

The programme is also designed to ease the decision making process for those new to the industry as well as current drivers who are looking to replace their current cars. For more information, interested parties can either contact the nearest Proton Edar outlet or email [email protected].
