Proton to join forces with Volkswagen

After the news of Volkswagen and Maruti Suzuki joining hands has been doing rounds, its Proton, the Malaysian car maker that is supposedly in talks with the Volkswagen Group that might get official in a few days. The chairman of Proton Motors recently quoted that the outcome of the meeting between the two auto makers would be made official in a few days and that he didn't want to jump gun at this juncture of talks.



The pairing is expected to reap mutual benefits for the two firms as Proton would then perhaps use some of its vacant capacity to build and develop Volkswagen Cars. Proton was seen as likely candidate from quite a while now.

Apart from utilizing some of its vacant capacity for Volkswagen production, the Malaysian car maker might also rebadge some of the older Volkswagen car models for its own domestic market.

The deal however would be restricted to the domestic markets of the two companies, but the association seemed to be on roll for quite some time now and this perhaps is the perfect juncture for the association to take place.
