Proton eMas 5 and eMas 7 lineup handed to PDRM for official testing
Proton has officially commenced a trial phase for its new electrified vehicle lineup by handing over the eMas 5, eMas 7 EV, and eMas 7 PHEV to the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM). This strategic move is designed to evaluate the practical usability and performance of these models within the rigorous demands of law enforcement operations.
The handover, which took place last week, marks a significant milestone for Proton’s eMas sub-brand as it seeks to validate its electric and plug-in hybrid technologies in a real-world professional environment. By utilizing a diverse fleet that includes both fully electric and plug-in hybrid variants, Proton aims to gather critical data regarding vehicle reliability, duty cycle endurance, and overall suitability for public sector service. This testing phase will provide essential insights into how these new powertrains handle the high-intensity requirements typical of police patrol and response duties.
To support the logistics of this evaluation, energy provider Gentari has committed to providing free charging services for the fleet, ensuring the vehicles remain operational throughout the trial period. This collaboration highlights the growing integration between the automotive and energy sectors as Malaysia continues to build out its national EV ecosystem. The outcomes of these tests will likely play a crucial role in determining the future feasibility of electrified fleets for government agencies and shaping consumer confidence in Proton's electrified offerings.
