# Malaysia: Stellantis starts local assembly of Leapmotor C10

The company sells the Leapmotor C10 globally in pure electric and extended-range electric variants, but it offers only the former in Malaysia. It is importing knocked-down kits of the electric SUV and assembling them at a factory in Gurun (Kedah), approximately 400 kilometres northwest of Kuala Lumpur. The Malaysian facility has an annual production capacity of 60,000 units and serves export markets like Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, and Laos as well.

Stellantis has earmarked 2.23 million euros for local assembly of Leapmotor EVs at the Gurun plant. The company also plans to invest 3.1 million euros in upgrading the production line and infrastructure at this facility. By the end of this year, it will start locally assembling the Leapmotor B10 as well. Last month, Stellantis announced plans to build the Leapmotor B10 even in Europe, at its Figueruelas plant in Zaragoza, Spain.

“The start of Leapmotor’s local assembly operations at our Gurun plant is a landmark achievement that places Malaysia at the forefront of EV industrialisation in the ASEAN region. As a crucial pillar within Stellantis APAC region for global growth, Malaysia is uniquely positioned to drive our regional expansion and lead by example,” said Stellantis ASEAN MD Isaac Yeo.

In related news, Stellantis has appointed Cycle & Carriage (C&C) as the local distributor of Leapmotor in Malaysia. C&C is already Peugeot’s authorised distributor in the country.

Leapmotor models are seeing strong traction globally, with 81,569 units delivered (including domestic sales and exports) in May 2026 alone, up 81% year-on-year. Year-to-date sales at the end of May 2026 stood at 263,111 units, marking a 51.51 per cent year-on-year growth.
