Stellantis Malaysia Locally Assembles Leapmotor C10 and B10

Stellantis Malaysia Expands Local EV Assembly

Stellantis Malaysia announced on September 7, 2026, that it now locally assembles the Leapmotor C10 and B10 at its Gurun facility in Kedah. The two electric vehicles will be offered through Leapmotor's authorized dealer network across Malaysia, expanding the availability of locally assembled EV models in the market. The move places both vehicles within the company's localized production operations and gives the C10 and B10 a manufacturing base in Malaysia. The development also reflects a broader production localization effort centered on the Gurun plant, where upgrades have been made to production-line capabilities and supporting infrastructure to accommodate assembly of the two electric vehicles.

EUR 5.3 Million Supports Production Localization

The company allocated EUR 5.3 million toward production localization and upgrades at the Gurun facility. The investment covers improvements to the plant's production line and infrastructure, supporting the local assembly of both Leapmotor models. The localization initiative connects Stellantis Malaysia operations with Leapmotor's vehicle production requirements while establishing the Gurun site as the local assembly point for the C10 and B10. With the vehicles entering the authorized dealer network, the investment supports both manufacturing activity and market distribution in Malaysia. The announcement therefore combines plant-level upgrades with the commercial introduction of the two locally assembled EVs.

The Leapmotor C10 is equipped with a 69.9 kWh battery and an electric motor rated at 218 hp, providing up to 424 km of WLTP range.

The two models are positioned at different price points in Malaysia, with the C10 priced at MYR 125,000 and the B10 priced at MYR 118,800. Both models will be available through Leapmotor's authorized dealer network across the country, giving customers access to the locally assembled electric vehicles alongside their stated battery capacities, power outputs, driving ranges, and prices.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The localization of the C10 and B10 strengthens the role of the Gurun facility in Malaysia's EV manufacturing landscape while linking plant investment directly to the availability of two electric passenger vehicles. The EUR 5.3 million allocation indicates a commitment to adapting production-line capabilities and infrastructure for localized assembly, which could support continued use of the facility for EV manufacturing. For Leapmotor, local assembly provides a production base connected to an established dealer network across Malaysia. The immediate focus remains the C10 and B10, while the plant upgrades and localized manufacturing structure could influence how future EV production opportunities are developed at the facility.
