Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Leapmotor has made a significant move in its European expansion plans, partnering with Stellantis to utilize the Spanish automaker's production facility in Spain. As part of the agreement, Leapmotor will leverage the plant to produce its vehicles for the European Union (EU) market, marking a crucial step in the company's bid to tap into the lucrative EU market. The partnership is seen as a strategic move by Leapmotor to bolster its presence in the EU, where demand for EVs is on the rise. With this deal, Leapmotor becomes the latest Chinese EV maker to establish a foothold in the EU, following in the footsteps of rivals such as BYD and Geely.
