Proton e.MAS 7 sells like hotcakes — One every hour since January

Malay Mail21-05-2025
KUALA LUMPUR, May 21 — It's only been four months since the Proton e.MAS 7 started rolling out in Malaysia, and Pro-Net has already delivered 2,716 units locally and abroad. That's roughly one Proton e.MAS 7 sold every hour since January 2025, making it not just a hot seller, but the best-selling EV in Malaysia for four months in a row.
863 Proton e.MAS 7 EVs delivered in April alone
In April alone, 863 units were delivered (for both local and export), giving the e.MAS 7 a 26 per cent market share in the EV space. That's a massive feat considering how competitive the EV scene in Malaysia especially for the sub-RM150,000 segment.
Commenting on the achievement, Pro-Net CEO Zhang Qiang said, 'We are incredibly grateful to all of our customers for their continued confidence in us.'
He added, 'To have one unit sold every hour shows how ready Malaysians are to embrace the EV future with the Proton e.MAS 7. Their trust and strong support have driven this success.'
Integrated EV Charging map now covers over 2,500 chargers
Pro-Net is also making EV ownership easier with its integrated EV charging map. This allows owners to locate and activate EV chargers from various Charge Point Operators (CPO) seamlessly from one single app. The integrated Live Charging Map now covers over 2,500 EV chargers across the country, representing over 90 per cent of the nation's public charging points.
These chargers can be accessed directly via the e.MAS app or through the car's built-in navigation system.
Among the latest CPOs to join Pro-Net's EV charging ecosystem is Shell Recharge. To celebrate the roll out, Proton e.MAS 7 owners can enjoy up to 30 per cent discount for Shell Recharge EV chargers from 26th May to 9th June 2025
High-rise dwellers aren't left out either. Pro-Net has facilitated the installation of more than 1,000 EV chargers in 397 condominiums and apartment buildings. Recently, they have signed a collaboration agreement with Charge+, ChargeSini, RExharge and Charge N Go to expand EV charging accessibility in high-rise residential buildings.
Pro-Net is also identifying new Charge Point Operator (CPO) partners to further improve charging accessibility for e.MAS 7 owners.

Johor-Singapore SEZ to drive growth beyond Johor Baru, says MB, with Kluang eyed as key satellite city

KLUANG, July 6 — The development of the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is expected to benefit not only areas surrounding Johor Baru but also be felt across all 10 districts in the state, said Johor Chief Minister Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi. He said the initiative would lead to the emergence of more satellite towns, ensuring that no district is left behind in terms of infrastructure and progress. In addition to driving economic growth, JS-SEZ would also serve as a catalyst for the tourism sector, positioning Johor as a major destination, he noted. The state government, he said, would seize the opportunity to promote attractions throughout Johor in conjunction with the upcoming Visit Johor Year. 'Bit by bit, areas surrounding JS-SEZ are beginning to experience the spillover effects of development. For example, the areas of Simpang Renggam and Renggam in Kluang are already seeing its impact. This progress will gradually expand to other districts. 'If Seremban is known as a satellite city to the Klang Valley, we expect Kluang to become one of the main satellite cities as a result of the JS–SEZ development,' he said at the launch of the Majestic Johor x Renggam Fiesta at Tunku Mahkota Ismail Youth Centre (TMIYC) Renggam today. The JS-SEZ covers major development zones such as Iskandar Malaysia, Forest City, the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex, and Desaru, with a total land area of approximately 357,128 hectares. The Iskandar Malaysia region also includes strategic areas such as Johor Bahru City Centre, Iskandar Puteri, Tanjung Pelepas — Tanjung Bin, Pasir Gudang, Senai — Skudai, and Sedenak. Further commenting, Onn Hafiz said that rapid development in the transport sector would also support connections between districts and the JS-SEZ, including the Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link Project and the Gemas-Johor Bahru Double Track Electrified Project. 'All these projects will enhance connectivity between Johor's districts and the key areas within the JS–SEZ, and the development will be carried out in phases,' he added. — Bernama

Selangor to enforce ‘No Plastic Bag Day' across all 12 local councils by early 2026

KLANG, July 6 — The Selangor government is in the final phase of amending the relevant by-laws to standardise the implementation of the No Plastic Bag Day initiative across all 12 local authorities (PBTs) in the state. State Public Health and Environment Committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said the move was part of a three-pronged approach to systematically and comprehensively address the plastic pollution in the state. 'The amendment process is expected to be completed this year, with wider enforcement of the No Plastic Bag Day to begin early next year,' she said in her speech during the Plastic Free Campaign Series 2 2025, officiated by Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari here today. Jamaliah said the state government would forge strategic partnerships with various parties to ensure the success of the plastic-free campaign. 'For example, present with us today are various parties who play an important role in tackling plastic pollution through awareness initiatives, recycling innovations, upcycling efforts and the provision of environmentally friendly alternatives, thereby supporting a sustainable and plastic-free lifestyle,' she said. Meanwhile, Jamaliah said the state government would continue to strengthen efforts to promote a plastic-free and environmentally friendly lifestyle through initiatives at the PBT level, as well as collaborations with schools and educational institutions in Selangor. 'Recognising that many parties in the state are actively working to reduce plastic use, the portal, which is currently being updated, will serve as a platform to bring together strategic partners and coordinate participation in the plastic-free campaign. 'Through this platform, organisers such as PBTs and schools can collaborate with non-governmental organisations, companies, social entrepreneurs and local communities, thereby encouraging the sharing of information, ideas and resources towards making a plastic-free lifestyle a daily practice among the people of Selangor,' she said. On the campaign, Jamaliah said the programme, which was first held in Sepang in May, was carried out without the use of plastic, relying instead on environmentally friendly and reusable materials to raise participants' awareness of the importance of caring for the environment. 'We will move to the next location, Sabak Bernam, on August 23 with the same spirit, a determination to break free from plastic dependence, and a commitment to a cleaner environment and to fostering a plastic-free lifestyle,' she said. — Bernama
