Hyundai builds four million vehicles annually today. By 2007, output is expected to be 5.5 million vehicles. Proton? Production is now shy of 200,000 cars a year. 178,431 sounds about right. Perodua? 113,431 vehicles.
This is why Proton has no chance to give us good cars at fair prices. There are no economies of scale. How did Hyundai do it? They’ve been around since 1967. That’s 38 years. Proton? About 20 years. It was born in 1983. The first Proton Saga rolled off production lines in September 1985.
Even the local market share that Proton holds is dropping so how can it compete internationally? Let’s all face it. If Proton-made cars that did not fall apart once they rolled off the production line, people would not turn to Korean makes.
If Proton’s quality was comparable to Korean makes like Hyundai, would anyone still choose a Korean make? Can they voice out? Any particular reason? read more..
