“Notably, the introduction of the XP400 GT (pictured above) marks a first-of-its-kind entry for Peugeot Motocycles in Malaysia, bringing a unique crossover scooter segment that combines versatility with premium appeal. With bookings now officially open and deliveries already underway across our expanding nationwide dealer network, we are excited to make this new category accessible to Malaysian riders”, said Steven Lim, Group Managing Director of Aveta International
“As part of our long-term commitment to the market, we are also proud to support the local assembly of selected models, including the Django range and Speedfight 4+, through a Completely Knocked Down (CKD) programme under Aveta’s Eco 5 initiative – further strengthening our efforts to build a sustainable and locally anchored ecosystem for the brand.”
This move is underpinned by a dedicated local assembly facility, representing a significant investment by Aveta International to support Peugeot’s brand-specific infrastructure, enhance accessibility, and strengthen aftersales capabilities.
