In autumn 2014 a new Arion series was introduced, now with two models that were smaller than before. These partly replaced the aging Axos range, which was in turn succeeded by the SDF-built Atos. All of the 400-series Arions received FPT engines. These Italian 4.5-liter engines feature urea injection and an oxidation catalyst. The transmission remained a Gima 16+16 with four ranges, a fast-shift gearbox and an electronic range shift—essentially the same setup as MF’s Dyna-4. The front axle is made by Carraro. Lift capacity is lower than before: 4,500 kg on the two smallest models and 5,750 kg on the larger ones. The hitch is rated to Category 3.

In the hydraulics department, the base version comes with a 60 l/min pump. In most countries an additional pump is fitted as standard, bringing total output to 98 l/min. For an extra charge you can opt for a closed-center system with a 110 l/min pump. The cab, originally derived from the Renault era, has now been completely replaced by a new six-post design. The high-roof version offers a large skylight. The multifunction lever is now the same style used in the larger Arion models. Noise level is specified at 73 dB. Four-wheel drive and diff-lock automation are standard. Front-axle suspension is available as an option, even though there is no 50 km/h version. The CIS variant adds power-shift transmission, an onboard computer and the option of electrically controlled hydraulic valves to the base specification.

In spring 2018 a 6-speed fast-shift gearbox (the same as MF’s Dyna-6), a CIS+ version with a larger color display, and a low-roof version were introduced.
