After the dip in deliveries last month, the Total Industry Volume (TIV) picked up again during November, increasing by 6% over October’s number to end at 64,404 units of passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

Of the 64,404 units, 89% of the vehicles delivered were passenger cars (excluding pick-up trucks), an increase over the volume in October as the assembly plants were able to complete more vehicles.

Comparing to the same month in 2021, the TIV in 2022 was 7% higher, with the variance for commercial vehicles (including pick-up trucks) being 11% greater.

Over the years, Proton has sent many of its personnel to its technical partners’ facilities in Japan and more recently, China, where they can receive training in various areas. The training will equip them will skills and knowledge which they can then bring back to Malaysia and share with their colleagues.

As Proton embarks on the development of New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), primarily electric vehicles, it is building up expertise in this new field of the auto industry. To equip its own personnel with the knowledge of development, integration, manufacturing, and sales and service of NEVs, the Malaysian carmaker has sent 16 of its staff members to the Geely Research Institute at Ningbo in Hangzhou Bay, China.
