Stellantis, the parent company of European automaker Opel, is reportedly in advanced discussions with Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Leapmotor to produce an electric SUV under the Opel brand. According to industry sources, the proposed partnership would mark a significant expansion of Opel's electric vehicle lineup, as the company seeks to meet growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles in Europe. Leapmotor, a relatively new player in the global EV market, has gained attention for its innovative designs and affordable pricing, making it an attractive partner for Stellantis. If the talks result in a deal, it could signal a major shift in Opel's strategy to compete with other European automakers in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle landscape.
