Leapmotor’s overseas strategy is distinctive, as its C10 and T03 models are showcased and sold alongside Stellantis brands like Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Peugeot, and Citroën. This shared showroom approach enhances foot traffic and cross-brand exposure. On the after-sales front, Leapmotor International, the joint venture between Leapmotor and Stellantis, has selected nearly 140 logistics centers from Stellantis’ mature European supply chain to distribute parts for Leapmotor vehicles.

By utilizing Stellantis’ distribution strengths, Leapmotor International offers all-around full-cycle support, covering vehicle selection, financial solutions, and after-sales service, ensuring a seamless experience for customers choosing Leapmotor’s new energy vehicles.

Since the establishment of Leapmotor International on May 14, the joint venture has efficiently collaborated with Stellantis to complete EU certification, meet European driving preferences, shipped the first thousand vehicles, and build sales, delivery, and service channels across 13 European countries. This rapid international expansion showcases the speed and efficiency of Chinese automakers going global.
