Proton X50s Now Come with Pre-Installed Touch 'n Go RFID: A Game-Changer for Malaysian Drivers

Say goodbye to aftermarket installations and hello to seamless travel. In a major move for Malaysian motorists, PROTON and Touch 'n Go have announced a strategic partnership to pre-install Touch 'n Go RFID tags in every all-new Proton X50. This collaboration, formalized on August 13, 2025, is set to redefine convenience and advance the nation's connected mobility ecosystem.

The collaboration was made official through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at PROTON's Centre of Excellence in Shah Alam. The agreement was signed by Praba Sangarajoo, CEO of Touch 'n Go, and Zhang Qiang, Deputy CEO of Proton Edar.

This initiative isn't just about sticking a tag on a windshield; it's a strategic integration aimed at delivering a superior driving experience. As Praba Sangarajoo puts it, it's about "instant gratification". "You drive your new Proton X50 off the showroom floor with RFID already installed, just like that," he explained. The partnership between two homegrown Malaysian companies aims to make everyday journeys feel easier, faster, and more intuitive.

The all-new Proton X50, launched on July 24, has been a massive success, with 2,000 units delivered in just the first three weeks. With over 140,000 units produced at its Tanjong Malim plant to date, the X50 is a star product for PROTON.

The vehicle stands out with:

Adding a factory-fitted RFID tag is a natural next step, perfectly aligning with the model's tagline, "Intelligence That Amazes." Zhang Qiang noted that this partnership adds another new feature that enhances the purchase value for customers without changing the price.

This is just the beginning. PROTON has indicated that there is scope to extend the factory-fitted RFID tags to other models in its lineup. "With other launches in our pipeline, PROTON is looking to extend the fitment of Touch 'n Go RFID tags to other models to offer an improved level of convenience to our customers," added Zhang Qiang. This forward-thinking strategy aims to continuously improve customer satisfaction across their entire range.

The all-new Proton X50 is the first PROTON vehicle to be equipped with a Touch 'n Go RFID tag as a standard feature on all variants.

No. Under the new agreement, every new Proton X50 will be pre-fitted with the Touch 'n Go RFID tag directly on the production line.

Yes, PROTON is considering extending the fitment of Touch 'n Go RFID tags to other upcoming models to offer the same convenience to more customers.
