Pro-Net, a subsidiary of national carmaker Proton, has delivered 3,026 units of the Proton eMas 5 in January 2026, marking the highest single-month delivery volume ever recorded by the company for a single model.
The milestone further strengthens the Proton eMas brand’s foothold in Malaysia’s growing EV market. In 2025, Proton eMas recorded 9,549 units sold, accounting for roughly six percent of Proton’s total annual sales and thus capturing 22 percent of Malaysia’s EV market share.
Launched on 30-October 2025, the Proton eMas 5 entered the market as Malaysia’s first affordable EV, positioned to make electric mobility accessible to everyday Malaysians. Its debut was preceded by a high-profile public showcase at the ASEAN Summit, signalling strong national and regional confidence in Proton’s electrification strategy.
Demand for the eMas 5 surged almost immediately after launch, reflecting a clear shift in Malaysian consumers’ readiness to adopt EV ownership.
The strong response from the public has prompted Proton to maintain the RM 3,000 launch rebate, as it continues to ramp up deliveries while expanding Malaysia’s EV ecosystem.

Ahead of its official launch, the eMas 5 was showcased nationwide through the MISI 5 roadshow, covering 42 locations across 13 states. The tour allowed Malaysians to experience the vehicle firsthand while giving Pro-Net valuable insight into key buyer groups, particularly first-time EV owners and families seeking accessible electrified mobility.
