After resuming the bookings, Al-Haj Automotive came up with a fresh episode to settle the noise regarding production and deliveries. Company has issued a public notice and falsified all the rumors translating late deliveries and production difficulties.
The notice reported that nothing is to worry about; as the plant is fully operational and customers will get Proton Saga and Proton X70 on a regular basis.
The company has enhanced the production of Proton X70 and is on track to achieve the monthly delivery target for the car from July onwards, the statement added.
It is pertinent to mention that there was news circulating on social media revealing certain production difficulties at Proton that can affect promised delivery schedule.
Proton Suspended Bookings but Resumed
When auto companies thought that everything was going to settle, the sudden economic downturn came with the new government reversing the whole scenario. Al-Haj Automotive suspended the bookings for all Proton vehicles this month. The company has resumed bookings but comes with a new decision – a new round of price hike.
