Leapmotor International, a 51/49 Stellantis-led company between Stellantis and Leapmotor, has shipped the first batch of Leapmotor electric vehicles – C10 SUVs and T03 cars – from Shanghai, China, to European ports this month, marking a significant milestone in the partnership and demonstrating the shared commitment to quickly providing sustainable mobility and innovation to the European EV market. Leapmotor’s C10 and T03 vehicles are equipped with cutting-edge EV technology, offering exceptional performance, efficiency and range. Leapmotor is the fourth largest Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) startup in China by sales in June 2024.
Leveraging the Stellantis distribution channels, the Leapmotor International JV plans to increase sales points for Leapmotor vehicles in Europe to 500 by 2026, from 200 at the end of 2024, to ensure a high level of service for customers. As the C10 and T03 vehicles embark on their journey to Europe, Stellantis and Leapmotor remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation and sustainability in the automotive industry. The shipment this month is just the beginning of a long-term collaboration aimed at transforming the landscape of electric mobility in Europe and beyond. There is at least one model planned to go on sale every year in the next three years.
