KUALA LUMPUR: Proton Holdings Bhd (Proton) is looking forward to having the Proton X70 assembled in Pakistan by the year-end, just months after the successful production rollout of the Proton Saga in Karachi.
In a statement yesterday, the car manufacturer said Al-Haj Automotive, the exclusive distributor of Proton in Pakistan, is tentatively scheduled to begin local assembly of the C-segment sport utility vehicle (SUV) in December. Prior to local assembly starting, a final batch of 154 units of the Proton X70 was shipped to Pakistan on Oct 17.
