BEIJING: Proton will work together with China's Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd to expand its market in the country.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the national carmaker and Geely were now discussing the matter after agreeing to explore the idea last month.

"The areas of cooperation could include vehicle design, sourcing, manufacturing, marketing, import and distribution for Asean and the China markets,” Najib told  reporters here on Thursday.

The prime minister said if Proton and Geely were to work together, the Malaysian car maker would produce cars based on Geely designs.

Geely cars are mostly sold in China.

As of April 4 last year, the company's total market capitalisation was US$3.9 billion. - Bernama
