Leapmotor global expansion and production milestones

Overview

Leapmotor continues its global expansion through vertical integration and a strategic partnership with Stellantis, maintaining a sales and service network of over 1,020 locations across 36 countries. In mid-2026, the company reported its third consecutive profitable half-year, though it later revised its 2026 net profit guidance downward by 40% due to rising raw material costs. To meet its goal of selling 150,000 to 200,000 units outside China, Leapmotor has increased R&D and sales spending, including the opening of a European Innovation Center in Munich. The company reported significant commercial growth, with international sales reaching 105,000 units in the first eight months of 2026, a 121.1% increase over 2025. By September 2026, the company reported delivering over 660,000 vehicles year-to-date, with exports exceeding 150,000 units.

To navigate trade barriers, Leapmotor is implementing a “local for local” manufacturing strategy. Production of the B10 electric SUV has officially commenced at the Stellantis facility in Figueruelas, Spain, through the Leapmotor International joint venture. This localized approach includes a nearby facility in Malen producing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery modules and packs to increase local content and mitigate EU tariffs. Plans are underway to add the B05 compact electric model to Spanish assembly lines in the first half of 2027.

Product availability continues to grow. In China, the company launched the A10s, a small electric SUV equipped with LiDAR and a 505 km CLTC range. In Australia, Leapmotor is discussing the introduction of the B05 Ultra, a sporty hatchback version described by local leadership as a “halo product.”
