1.0 INTRODUCTION
Proton Holdings Berhad (stylised PROTON) is a Malaysian automobile manufacturer. It is
headquartered in Shah Alam, Selangor and operates an additional manufacturing plant in
TanjungMalim,Perak.The company was established in 1983 as the sole national car company

Nasional Sendirian Berhad (National Automobile Company Private Limited).
Proton was largely a manufacturer of badge engineered vehicles from Mitsubishi
Motors between 1985 and the early 2000s. The company has since produced several
indigenously designed models and operates in at least 26 countries today, the majority of

1.3. INVENTOR
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was born in 1925 in AlorSetar, Malaysia. He was a doctor
before becoming a politician with the UMNO party, and ascended quickly from
Member of Parliament to prime minister. During his 22 years in office, he grew the

5.3. Problem
As a car designengineerwe found some of problem on this Proton Arena so we try to
remove outthe problemthatwe can solve it.The problemthat we found on this car as
below:
i. Exterior problem of car
ii. Interior problem of car
iii. Safety Problem of car
iv. Security problem of car

13. BBP10402 CREATIVE & INNOVATION 13
5.3.1. Exterior ofCar
This car has two doors. The car body is durability. In addition, it can
accommodate the load.Thiscar alsohas a car bootopen and don’t have a roof
on the back.
Figure 1.4: RightSide Viewof ProtonArena. Onlyhave twodoors.
Figure 1.5: Back Side Viewof ProtonArena.Have openbootcar

14. BBP10402 CREATIVE & INNOVATION 14
5.3.2. Interior ofCar
This car has two seats. Therefore, this car cannot carry more than two
passengers. The carhave electricremote slide mirror.The interiordesignof car
was small.

5.3.3. Safety
Safetyof ProtonArenalackson the safetyfeaturessuchasair bags. The car
was doesn’thave airbags.Thiswill be occurring dangerouslytothe driverand
passengerwhenanaccident.Dashboardinfrontof the car was empty.Don’t
have any air bags.

15. BBP10402 CREATIVE & INNOVATION 15
5.3.4. Security
The way to open this car was manually. The problem occurs when an open
manually, the car highly risky for being stole because there is no security. For
example security alarm. When the car has been locked using the remote
control when someone wants to commit theft it will cause the alarm sound.
Figure 1.8: Key of Proton Arena
6.0. SOLUTIONS
6.1. Magnify
The interiordesignof car wassmall.Ithas onlytwoseats. It justmakesfor two persons
to use it. The space at the back of car is more spaces than the front of car. The back of
car isusedfor pickup andplacesthe things. The interiordesignof thiscaris verysmall.
It has twoseatsand can accommodate onlytwopersons.Space behindthe car is larger
than the space in front of car. Therefore, interior design of this car will be magnified.
Whenthe internal space has been magnifying, it can add a seat at the side rear of the
car. However, when magnifying the space and add to the passenger seat, the space at
the boot space can still have a space to place a goods and load.
(Refer Appendix 1 and 2).

16. BBP10402 CREATIVE & INNOVATION 16
6.2. Modify
The design of car door will be modified from two doors become four doors. This is to
make it easierandprovide comforttothe passengersatthe back. For example, in case
emergency, the rear door can be open to ease passengers to entry and exit from the
car. However,the originalityof designdoorof ProtonArenaisstill maintainedin that if
the door isclosed.The car will look like a two door because the rear door designed to
look hidden. The rear door can be only opened if the front doors open. Besides that,
thiscar has an openbootat the back. It willscausedgoodsplacedonthe backboot will
be damagedwhenitis raining. Therefore, byputtingthe roof onthe back of the car but
will be able to solve the problem. Example the goods are in safe and good condition.
(Refer Appendix 1).
6.3.Rearrange
The driverand passengersafetyisveryimportant.Conditioninfrontof thiscar has no
air bag.Conditionsdashboardwasemptyandhasno security.Itwill make passengers
and the driverwasin dangerouslywhenanaccidentoccurs. To make it safety,usesof
airbagshouldbe placedinfrontof the dashboardand conditionswill be rearranged in
orderto have the airbag equipment. (ReferAppendix 1).
6.4.Combine
As well known,toopenthe cardoors are not usingthe remote control.Opening a door
ismanually.Thiscan complicate the situation because the car cannot be opened from
the situation further. It should be opened by being in close conditions. In addition,
whenusinga keyto lockmanually,thiswillcause the car didnothave a safe and happy
to be stolen because no alarm sounds. Therefore to improve the security of cars, the
key must be adding some remote control at the key of the car to make it useful with
new product. (Refer Appendix 2)

17. BBP10402 CREATIVE & INNOVATION 17
7.0. DISCUSSION
Here we will discussaboutthe advantage anddisadvantage fromourdesign.As we know if we
are created some of product it will have pro and contra.
7.1. Advantage
The advantages that we can list from our car design as below:
i. The numberof personentryintothe car will be increase.This is because, when
magnifiedthe interiorspace of car, it can add seats at the rear of car. With the
additionof seatat the rear side,itwill carryand increase the numberof person
when use it.
ii. The car will be more safetytouse it whenplacedthe airbags.
iii. The car will be more secure with the improvement in the security of car.
Example, key adding some remote control at the key of the car to make it
useful.
iv. To easier and provide comfort to the passengers at the back. When have four
doors.
v. By puttingthe roof on the boot at back of the car, it will avoid and protect the
goods placed from damaged.
7.2. Disadvantage
The disadvantages that we can list from our car design as below:
i. The rear door of car will not open if the front doors of car close.
ii. Magnified of interior space in the car make the space at the boot becomes
little bit smaller than the space before it.
7.3. RECOMMENDATION
The recommendationsthatwe canlistfromour car design are modified the car design
will make the car easier to use and provide comfortable to the vehicle owner and the
passengers. Besides that, when magnified the interior space of car, it will make
increase the numberof personthatentryintothe car. Furthermore,byplacingthe roof
on the openbootat the back of car will make the car looksafelytoplace the goods. An
example,whenhave roof onthe bootof car, the goods are in safe and good condition.

18. BBP10402 CREATIVE & INNOVATION 18
In addition,the carbecome more safety when place the air bags. Then, the car will be
more secure withthe improvementinthe securityof car byusingthe remote control at
the key.
8.0. CONCLUSION
Vehicle technology can improve the transport system in many ways, but specifically in the
context of this paper, it has the potential to reduce the number of accidents on the roads.
There are a vast number of new technologies available on new vehicles or top of the range
vehicles that will become more common in future, there are also many more technologies
beingresearched.Allof whichare designedtoalert,assist,ortake control from, the driver,and
all respondtodifferentdangersatdifferentintervalsbefore an accident occurs. It is important
that the most beneficial of these technologies are identified at an early stage and emphasis is
put on introducing them as early as possible. This emphasis must consist of; ensuring that
resources are dedicated towards developing the technology and validating its safety effects,
promoting the safety benefits of the technology to the public in the wider context of road
safety, and ensuring early take up of the technology where possible.
