SPESIFIKASI Proton | Saga Listrik

SPESIFIKASI Proton | Saga Listrik

Talk about environmentally friendly cars, Proton already have them. In the arena of Indonesia International Motor Show, Proton showcase the power of technology embedded in the Proton Saga.

EV Proton Saga has a lithium ion polymer battery which can produce 15 kWh of energy. Battery charging time to reach 6-8 hours. Proton also provides rapid charging version just an hour. Once the battery charge is sufficient to explore Jakarta to Bandung.

Saga EV electric motor performance is pretty tough. Of 000-100 km per hour can be reached by 12 seconds. The maximum speed can reach 110 km per hour ie.

According to the Detroit Electric told Down Jones News Agency, the contract is valid for five years. In the first year, Proton is expected to reach a revenue of 1.2 billion ringgit Malaysia.

The Dutch company plans to sell 40,000 battery as a power source of Proton cars to be produced at the plant in Tanjong Malim first year.

Magnetic Flux Motorcycle engine technology and Lithium Polymer batteries that have been tested both as a source of energy is expected to support speeds. With Lithium batteries the car can travel a distance of 180 km (111 miles) to the model city range and 325 km (200 miles) for extended range model.

In the production schedule, electric cars will be produced as many as 270,000 units during the first four years. Management said Detroit Electric was first electric car will be shown to the public in February 2010.

Detroit Electric CEO Albert Lam said the base of the vehicle using the Proton gen-2 and Persona with minor modifications. While relying on lithium battery power source that produced Detroit.

Lam confident with such a large project and estimates there will be demand for as many as between 120,000 to 150,000 units. He said the market will grow rapidly associated with the government's insistence that more intense focus on environmental and green technology sectors.

The car is planned, will be sold with prices ranging from 23,000 dollars to 33,000 U.S. dollars. It all depends on the size of the battery because it is very influential on mileage.


Proton Saga EV (Electric Vehicle) white colour it comes with 12 packs of lithium ion polymer battery which can generate 125 kW power.

Driven by system 5-speed manual transmission, Saga EV could issue a power of 168 hp through a ditopangnya electric battery.

When the power source is exhausted, the battery can be recharged within 6-8 hours. In the full condition, the battery can be used to cover the distance as far as 109 km.

Although equipped with electric motors, but the power of this little sedan is almost equivalent to conventional-engined variant. In order to accelerate from 0-100 km / h Saga EV only takes 12 seconds with a maximum speed reaches 161 km / hour.

Unfortunately, PT Proton Edar Indonesia (PEI) as the sole agent Proton cars in the country not intend to market electric-powered cars.


When compared with the Persona car gasoline, the cost of course cheaper. Saga EV for each km only need USD 120 only, or Rp 3.6 million per year while the Persona USD 360 per km, or Rp 10.8 million per year.

Another advantage is the owner of the Proton EV was not necessary to the gas station. Charging the battery is done at home or at work. Practical is not it?

This electric technology does not only apply to only Saga, Proton plans as stated by Proton Holdings Berhad Managing Director Dato 'Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir will install an electric motor to the other Proton cars.

Meanwhile, for its application in Indonesia, Proton requested the preparation of the government's electricity infrastructure.
