KLANG: Northport (Malaysia) Bhd and Pro-Net (Proton New Energy Technology Sdn Bhd) announced the deployment of three units of the Proton e.MAS 7 for Northport’s auxiliary police patrol fleet.
This marks Northport as the first company and port operator in the country to purchase and operate the e.MAS 7 under a fleet arrangement.
Pro-Net CEO Zhang Qiang said, “We are honoured to collaborate with Northport, an organisation that leads by example in embracing sustainability. The Proton e.MAS 7 is designed for practical, veryday use, and its deployment within Northport’s operations demonstrates that electric vehicles are not just a vision for the future, but a viable solution for today.”
The deployment reflects Northport’s ongoing commitment to making its daily operations more environmentally friendly.
As Proton’s first fully electric SUV, the e.MAS 7 brings real benefits to day-to-day patrols.
Its smooth and quiet drive helps reduce fatigue for officers during long shifts, while quieter operations lessen noise in the port area.
The vehicle’s fast charging capability means it is always ready when needed, and the energy efficient electric powertrain helps cut down on both fuel costs and emissions.
With fewer moving parts compared to a conventional petrol vehicle, it also requires less maintenance.
"At Northport, we are committed to embracing sustainable practices and clean energy solutions. The Proton e.MAS 7 aligns perfectly with our environmental goals and supports our Green Port initiatives and ESG commitments," said Northport CEO Fakhrul Azhar Tajudin.
"As a proudly Malaysian port, choosing Proton also reflects our support for local innovation and national industry development. The Proton e.MAS 7 offers the right balance of performance, safety and technology, making it ideal for the demanding needs of our port operations," added Fakhrul.
