Coming to the Peugeot 508 sedan which is what the French car manufacturer will bring it to India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) to begin with. Going forward, we can expect the localisation of the sedan at the Peugeot’s manufacturing plant in Gujarat, however the production is not going to start anytime soon as they have just initialised the process at the plant a couple of months back. This brings us to a question, how did the car manufacturer conduct the test runs of the Peugeot 508 sedan we have spied upon quite a few times. Apparently, Peugeot has given this responsibility to a local agency to carry out the testing for the sedan in Indian conditions. Looks like, they have made enough preparations for the re-entry after a decade into the country to avoid the history to repeat itself.
