Proton hands over eMas 5 and eMas 7 series to PDRM for official testing
Proton has officially commenced the evaluation phase for its new electric vehicle lineup by handing over several units to the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM). The testing involves the eMas 5, the eMas 7 EV, and the eMas 7 PHEV to determine their suitability for law enforcement operations.
The handover, which took place last week, marks a significant step in Proton's transition toward electrification and high-performance mobility. By providing these diverse powertrain options—ranging from pure battery electric vehicles to plug-in hybrids—to PDRM, Proton aims to gather comprehensive data on real-world usability, durability, and performance under the rigorous demands of police duty. This evaluation will focus on how the eMas series handles urban patrolling and the technical reliability required for emergency response scenarios.
To ensure the testing process is seamless and cost-effective, energy provider Gentari has committed to providing free charging services for the units throughout the evaluation period. This collaboration highlights a growing synergy between automotive manufacturers and energy providers to support Malaysia's shift toward sustainable transport. Successful testing could potentially pave the way for a greener, more technologically advanced fleet within the Royal Malaysian Police in the coming years.
