Khamil: ‘Proton and Petronas initiated the engine technology exploration in 1996. So it is time now to take over from Petronas.’
KUALA LUMPUR: Proton Holdings Bhd has acquired all engine technologies and knowledge developed by Petronas since 1997 through its technology commercialisation arm, Petronas Technology Ventures Sdn Bhd, for RM63mil.
