Leapmotor International, a joint venture between Stellantis and Leapmotor, aims to bring cost-effective, high-performance Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) to the global market, starting with Europe. This collaboration leverages Chinese engineering and innovation, coupled with Stellantis’ retail and logistical support, to provide accessible electric mobility. Consumers can now order the T03 and C10 models through designated Stellantis dealers, with deliveries set for later this year. Leapmotor’s vehicles, designed with advanced BEV (battery electric vehicle) technology and affordability in mind, offer a competitive edge in performance and price compared to other Chinese brands. The T03 is a compact car with a range of 265 km, starting at 18,900 euros, while the C10 is a premium SUV with a range of 420 km, priced at 36,400 euros. Both models highlight the company’s dedication to high-tech innovation and vertical integration, ensuring lower production costs and high value for consumers.
The partnership’s launch marks a significant milestone in Stellantis’ efforts to expand its electric vehicle portfolio in Europe, complementing its existing brands and furthering its commitment to clean, affordable mobility. Initially available in European countries such as Belgium, Germany, France, and the UK, Leapmotor International also has plans for expansion into markets in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and South America. This collaboration not only enhances Stellantis’ global reach but also positions Leapmotor as a serious contender in the global EV space, with the ambition to launch one new model per year for the next three years. Both companies are committed to offering sustainable and efficient mobility solutions that meet the demands of environmentally conscious consumers.
