The UK Proton importer has launched a Wira-based ‘half tonne’ pickup priced from £5,995 excluding VAT (which most businesses can reclaim).

The Proton Jumbuck has already been launched in Malaysia, where it is made, and in Australia and can carry a 635 kg payload with a load capacity of over 800 litres.
The importer says the 1.63 metre long load tray can accommodate a trail bike or jet ski, while 415 mm high side panels provide a secure load area for builders, heating engineers, florists or gardeners and horticulturalists.
Proton’s British subsidiary Lotus Engineering played a key role in the Jumbuck’s development, from its ride and handling to the design of the load area, integrity of the body structure and robust construction.
Power comes from a transverse mounted Mitsubishi-designed 1.5 litre, 12 valve, four cylinder petrol engine mated to a five speed manual gearbox driving the front wheels.
