Seems LG Electronics' involvement in the Proton Iriz isn't just limited to the ADAS stereo camera and the NEXLIDE lights - MITI minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed has posted pictures of a Proton Iriz electric vehicle (EV) on his Facebook page.
Not completely far-fetched, this, since we know the Iriz's all-new platform has been designed to support hybrid and electric powertrains. Pictured here at LG's R&D facility in Incheon, Seoul, the Proton Iriz EV is claimed to do 240 km on a single charge - pretty impressive if that's true.
Late last year, we reported that Proton was targeting to bring its first EV to market by end-2015. Before that, Parliament was told that Proton would begin selling electric vehicles by 2014. At that stage, the national car company was collaborating with UK-based Frazer-Nash Research to develop its own EV.
