European automaker Stellantis is reportedly in talks with Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Leapmotor to develop an electric SUV under the Opel brand. The potential partnership would mark a significant expansion of Stellantis' electric offerings in the European market, where Opel is a well-established brand. Leapmotor, known for its high-performance electric vehicles, could bring its expertise in EV technology to the partnership, while Stellantis would provide access to its global distribution network. If the talks result in a deal, it could be a major boost for Stellantis' electric vehicle ambitions, particularly in the highly competitive European SUV market.
