	What is a Proton & where are they made?
	Originally conceived by Malaysia's Prime Minister of the day, Dato Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, PROTON Bhd was incorporated on 7th May 1983 with the aim of building a national car. Two years later, On 9th July 1985 the Proton Saga (later known in the UK as the MPI) was officially launched. It was Malaysia's first domestically produced car and is still sold in Malaysia and other countries today. Opened in 2005; a state-of-the-art assembly plant was constructed at Tanjung Malim, 60 miles north of Kuala Lumpur. This area has been named Proton City and consists of a 500 hectare site containing the factory, plant, housing, a university and other commercial buildings to accommodate component suppliers. This plant produces the three newest model ranges, the GEN-2, Savvy and Satria Neo. Proton's total workforce in Malaysia totals just over 6,000 personnel working in all areas of vehicle design, R&D, production and manufacturing. With a solid base built up since 1983, Malaysia's car manufacturing industry is progressing rapidly. Proton took a major step forward in upgrading its engineering capabilities when it acquired a share in Lotus Group International in October 1996. The company has come a long way since 1983; PROTON was publicly listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange in 1992, and today, Proton cars are exported to more than 50 countries worldwide. Key export markets include Australia, Singapore, the Far East and the UK; where during 2009 it celebrates 20 years in the market place.

	What is Ssangyong?
	Ssangyong is the only automotive manufacturer in Australia that offers an exclusively eco-friendly diesel powered range. This alone gives it an edge over other brands, but when coupled with a proud history of technological, styling and performance excellence - the advantage speaks for itself. As an added incentive to motorists, Australia's dealer network all around the country provides comprehensive sales, service and parts back up wherever you may be. This is all part of a global commitment of providing a range of Ssangyong vehicles backed by industry 'best practice' levels of customer care and after-sales support. No wonder Ssangyong SUVs and Utility vehicles have been receiving such a high-level of critical acclaim for their value, quality, fuel efficiency, off-road ability and after sales service since they were made available to Australian's in the mid 1990s. And with the backing and strength of Sime Darby Berhad, a major force in automotive distribution, the foundations for even greater future success are firmly in place.
