So far the Leapmotor T03 is only built in China. The electric car will soon also roll off the production line in Poland. But it shouldn't remain the only model in Europe.
With electromobility, more and more new manufacturers are coming onto the market. Many of the car manufacturers come from China and are increasingly expanding into Europe. For example, the electronics company Xiaomi recently presented its first car. And a Leapmotor electric car will soon be built and sold on the old continent.

But such a collaboration would be obvious. In October, Stellantis announced that it would acquire around 20 percent of Leapmotor for around 1.5 billion euros. As part of the agreement, the joint venture Leapmotrs International was founded, in which Stellantis holds 51 percent. The company has exclusive rights to produce, sell and export Leapmotor products outside of China. Volkswagen has also entered into a similar partnership with Xpeng.

Stellantis also wants to access Leapmotor’s “highly innovative, cost-effective EV ecosystem” and use the Leap 3.0 platform, as
Electrive.net
writes. The model is intended to help expand the range of affordable electric cars and compete with the Dacia Spring and the BYD Seagull. The T03 is already available in some countries in Europe. The small car is scheduled to launch in Germany this year and will cost around 22,000 euros. The range is around 280 kilometers. An SUV, the Leapmotor C10, is also set to come onto the market in Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
