SAE excursion

I was off campus on last wednesday and thursday. Was following my prof, lecturer and two grad students to KL!

What a excellent excuse to skip class...yea! Actually, i was on something. I attended SAE meeting with my prof on the Proton Exora Seminar. The event was held in UPM.
before the meeting, we saw a saga EV. It is for display and Proton was working on electric vehicle. Maybe they will test the market by trying out in Putra jaya with 10 000 cars.
Later on the so called Ist malaysian MPV was arrive at the show.
Well it is a nice car but with 1600 cc to power this family car, wont be sufficient power to pick up when its on full load. anyway it is a great effort and the process by Proton Team that change the ordinary way producing car. This time they were quite fast from design to produce.
It also incorporate some fuel eficient, safe feature like campro cps, hydoforming sub frame, high tensile steel cage, side impact bar. It is proven safety certified. They really emphasize on this.

coming up, SAE meeting and go through the slides.

Its a more open apporach from proton this time and they tell us a lot and share with us some insights with Protons. Not bad... and good luck.
