One of the highlights for Leapmotor was the unveiling of a compact electric coupe prototype in 2017. As a result, the mass production of the Leapmotor S01 all-electric car began in June 2019.
Since then, the Leapmotor lineup has expanded even further to include several groundbreaking models, such as the C01 battery electric executive sedan, the C11 mid-size crossover SUV, and the T03 electric city car.
A strategic partnership with the state-owned First Automobile Works FAW went ahead in 2017 and resulted in the further development of intelligent electric vehicles. Within a few years, they had made significant inroads into the European market.
Stellantis N.V. is one of the leading multinational automakers headquartered in the Netherlands. They acquired a 21% stake in the Leapmotor company in September 2024.
The deal helped to facilitate a huge "leap forward" for the Leapmotor car brand deeper into the European market.
Note: The Leapmotor automobile company is part of a joint venture with Stellantis, the owners of Fiat, Peugeot, and Vauxhall, with more than forty (40) retailers nationwide.
The new EU tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles have got the attention of Leapmotor International - a Stellantis and Leapmotor joint venture.
