Pay & Go system integrated with ACO Tech’s ATLAS system in Protons

Proton owners with the ATLAS operating system in their vehicle can now make payments at carparks with Pay & Go payment systems. The off-street parking payment system, developed in Sarawak, is currently available at 28 locations – primarily in Kuching – and will be expanded to more areas, especially in the Klang Valley.

Pay & Go uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology which scans and records a vehicle’s numberplate at the point of entry to the carpark. Besides other payment methods, owners of Proton models with the ATLAS system will have the convenience of making payment from inside their vehicle with just a tap on the display panel. Additionally, upcoming software updates (over the air) will enable users to pay directly from their ATLAS Pay e-wallet accounts.

Vehicle numberplates are scanned by a camera with Automatic Number Plate Recognition software so no ticket needs to be collected by the vehicle owner. When exiting, the vehicle is identified and payment required is indicated. For Proton X70 owners, this information will be displayed on their infotainment screen, and payment can be made just by tapping on the screen.

The integration of Pay & Go’s payment system with the ATLAS operating system is the first-of-its-kind partnership in Malaysia which was formalised via a Product Integration Agreement with ACO Tech, a company jointly owned by Proton, Altel, and ECARX.

This partnership between ACO Tech and Pay & Go was formalised via a Product Integration Agreement which was signed and exchanged at the World Congress on Innovation & Technology 2023 in Kuching, Sarawak.

“Central to ACO Tech solutions is our innovation to provide convenience and enhance the overall driving experience for customers. By collaborating with like-minded partners such as Pay & Go who have similar value propositions, we now offer a customer-centric solution for parking via our Infotainment Head Unit. The integration of Pay & Go into ATLAS underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions to our valued customers. We aim to make the driving experience more convenient and enjoyable for motorists and will continue innovating to shape the future of automotive technology,” said Li Pu, CEO of ACO Tech.

2020 Proton X70
The first model which will have Pay & Go integrated in its ATLAS operating system is the Proton X70, with the service available from October 4, 2023. Other models with the operating system will receive over-the-air updates that will automatically integrate the payment system.

Payment for parking is not all the Pay & Go will offer in the longer term. Eddie Wee, Pay & Go’s CEO, said that there are plans to add more features in the ATLAS system such as eReservation for F&B and Parking Space Reservation, among other things, in the near future.
