“As of the first half of July, Leapmotor has
accumulatively sold over 400,000 EVs in China since the company’s
first sale,” said Leapmotor Founder, Chairman and CEO Zhu
Jiangming. “China is the biggest and most competitive EV market in
the world and our products have proved their value by being
acclaimed by the local customers. Since the very beginning, the C10
and T03 models are designed to meet the high standards of global
customers and we are confident that the collaboration between
Stellantis and Leapmotor will drive significant growth for both
companies.”

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
