Pro-Net's Push to Accelerate the Local EV Industry

PRO-NET is Proton's dedicated electrified vehicle (EV) arm in Malaysia, responsible for the distribution, sales, and aftersales support of the Proton e.MAS line of hybrid and battery electric vehicles. As of 31 August 2026, PRO-NET had registered more than 6,000 Proton e.MAS vehicles across Malaysia. The company's mission extends beyond vehicle sales to building the infrastructure ecosystem needed for long-term EV ownership: local assembly (CKD) at Proton's EV plant within the Automotive High Tech Valley (AHTV) in Tanjong Malim, Perak; technician certification programmes; nationwide aftersales coverage; and charging network partnerships. For Malaysian users, PRO-NET addresses critical EV ownership barriers including service capability, spare parts availability, charging accessibility, and post-purchase support.

How Is PRO-NET Training the Future EV Workforce in Malaysia?

PRO-NET is building Malaysia's EV talent pipeline through structured certification programmes and education partnerships. The company signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with TVETMARA on 4 September 2026 to provide hands-on training, on-the-job training (OJT), internships, and apprenticeships for Malaysians pursuing careers in the EV industry.

Two certified programmes form the core of this initiative: the e.MAS Certified Technician Programme (e.CTP), covering EV maintenance, high-voltage systems, diagnostics, and customer consultation; and the e.MAS Certified Service Advisor Programme (e.CSA), which equips advisors to clearly explain vehicle service needs. PRO-NET and TVETMARA jointly organise the inaugural e.MAS Electrified Excellence Competition, running from 1 September to 15 October 2026. Over 40 Proton e.MAS dealerships nationwide participate, testing technical, diagnostic, servicing, and customer service capabilities. The competition is designed to identify top-performing technicians and service advisors, encourage continuous upskilling, and establish stronger benchmarks for EV aftersales standards.
