It is worth?- Proton car
With apologies to Buick Which ran an ad campaign asking a similar question decades ago, Proton Motors would like to know if you would like to drive one of their cars?
Well, if you're like most people in the U.S. and Canada, you've never heard of Proton, but if you live in Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom, or Australia, then you are familiar with this Automaker from Malaysia. Though we are not Likely to see Proton cars sold in North America in the near future, the Proton name is Likely to get noised abroad if the company ever settles on a suitor.
You see, both Volkswagen and General Motors have Had talks with the owners of Proton over the past few years, Which talks have involved developing a business relationship or an acquisition of the Malaysian Automaker. Each time the talks have broken down, but that may soon change: GM is interested in Proton and is Considering reopening discussions in the very near future.
What Proton Has To Offer
Whoever ends up buying Proton will be getting a lot more than a car company. They'll receive:
Access to the southeast Asian market. The economies of China and India are booming, but the countries of Southeast Asia are considered to be too ripe consumer markets. Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam are poised for growth, just the types of markets any Automaker would like to enter. With Proton already present in each country, The suitor would gain instant access and could expand their presence accordingly.
Available manufacturing base. With automotive plants in play, Proton's suitor will be able to ramp up production and expand market share. New models can be built on Malaysian assembly lines, cars that one day could be Destined for the profitable U.S. market.
What A Suitor Can Give To Proton
The company buying Proton can offer several things including:
Strength - Proton has been selling cars for just the past 25 years, but they remain a tiny player in the global automotive market. Stiff competition means that Proton needs some sort of business relationship going forward or risk being surpassed by automotive giants with deep pockets.
Visibility - Outside of the markets mentioned, Proton is a virtual unknown player. Collaborating or merging with another company will Ensure that Proton will be around for another 25 years.
Technology - What Proton currently builds would not be able to be sold in some European markets in the U.S. gold. None of their current models can meet stringent emission and safety requirements; most of their vehicles are outdated and in need of a technological boost.
Some of what I have shared here is Purely speculation, but it does drive home one point: the global automotive industry is consolidating and only the strong will survive. Going it alone will probably prove to be too costly for Proton, necessitating that a business partner be found as soon as possible.

Talks to Save Proton failed
Hope Proton can recover.
According to a report by The Edge, talks between the car manufacturer Proton Holding Bud and Europe's largest manufacturer, Volkswagen AG and Volkswagen-known manufacturers of components --- Van started last year was exacerbated by the function that the government Hopes Malaysia.
The weekly newspaper said that officials of the Proton and Volkswagen met repeatedly, but no concrete agreement was signed. The newspaper added that the talks were not so good and it seems that the German car maker has something "cool" and less in recent endeavor.
The newspaper also quoted a source familiar with the situation with the words: "This period could serve as my doubts." The government in Malaysia is also under pressure to announce the details of the partnership for the loss of Proton, its status as the country "s biggest rival Perodua Vehicle Service. The Government believes that the new Proton, the partnership with Volkswagen, it can help.
Proton announced last week for the third quarter in a row of losses, it’s a competition to sales and stagnation. The company receives a net loss of 281.45 million RGT for the third quarter compared to net income at the end of December, he took a year earlier, amounting to 86.51 million RGT.
The Second Finance Minister or Mohamed Yak cop said that the government would be the publication of an advertisement on the Proton strategic partner in this month. Nobody knows whether it is still Volkswagen or any other company. But, according to The Edge newspaper: "If this timetable is consistent, the so-called General Motors, the largest car manufacturer in the world, could be the partner of choice for the phototherapy.
The main goal, a partnership with Proton foreign automotive industry is to further reduce its market share that competition is increasing. It should be noted that, if possible, a new partnership with Volkswagen on the run from the proton, but after the announcement of the partnership was not confirmed by Proton plunged.
Apart from Volkswagen, Proton was also in talks with General Motors and PSA Peugeot Citroen in France more than three companies in the automotive industry, which showed interest in Malaysia for the purchase of shares in the company. It should be noted that the Government of Malaysia has 59 percent of Proton, including a stake of 43% owned by Khazanah Nasional, the investment arms of the government
