Stellantis Gurun commences production and export of Peugeot 408 with Euro 6 PureTech engine to Taiwan

Stellantis, a leading global automaker and mobility provider, has achieved a significant industrial milestone with the production start of the new PEUGEOT 408 at the Stellantis Gurun plant.

Featuring an updated 1.6-liter turbocharged PureTech powertrain with Euro 6 rating, the award-winning fastback is earmarked for regional export, with Taiwan confirmed as the third market to receive the Malaysian-built model after Thailand in 2024, and Cambodia in 2025.


Supported by a €1.5 million investment, the Stellantis Gurun plant has undergone a manufacturing line upgrade, including specialised Research & Development for powertrain calibration and localised parts development.

This configuration delivers an upgraded 225hp, similar to the Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) variant while maintaining a lighter 168kg kerb weight. Additional markets across the Asia-Pacific region are currently being evaluated for the export of this high-performance and efficient model.

Isaac Yeo, Managing Director of Stellantis ASEAN said, “Our vision to transform Gurun into a key regional driver is taking shape, supported by strategic investments to upgrade this vital facility for both local and export production. This latest development emphasises our commitment to scaling production outputs in Malaysia while extending the breadth of brands and models within the Stellantis portfolio to meet the diverse needs of the region.”


This milestone is central to Stellantis’ strategic roadmap to transform the Gurun plant into a regional manufacturing powerhouse with industry-leading quality standards. The company aims to achieve full production capacity at the facility, targeting the export of 280,000 vehicles to 20 countries across the Asia-Pacific region by 2028.

Such growth is underpinned by a strategy set for Stellantis Gurun to accommodate the manufacturing of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Internal Combustion Engines (ICE), and Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles (MHEV). These efforts include the localised assembly of Leapmotor electric vehicles, beginning with the Leapmotor C10 following a dedicated €5 million investment.

VIDEO: How to remove the wheel nut cover on the Peugeot 408

271 Comments

The Peugeot 408 features a body shape that deviates from the norm, combining the practicality of a sedan with SUV/crossover elements and a higher ground clearance.

This unique French mixture may not cater to the tastes of the general public.

In addition to its bold design, the Peugeot 408 also comes equipped with unconventional Monolithe 20-inch rims, which appear quite odd upon first glance.

Upon closer inspection, these 20-inch rims have a single plastic structure that covers the five wheel nut holes.

You can watch the tutorial on how to remove this plastic nut cover in the video link below:
