Stellantis anuncia la fabricación de un segundo modelo de Leapmotor en Zaragoza

On October 16th, Stellantis and Leapmotor officially launched the production of the Leapmotor B10 in Figueruelas, Zaragoza as part of Stellantis' FaSTLane 2030 strategy. Leapmotor B05, the second model of the Chinese company to be manufactured in Europe, will also be produced in Zaragoza following the successful start of B10 production. This move strengthens the strategic alliance between the two companies through the joint venture Leapmotor International.

Leapmotor B05, a 218 CV sports coupe electric vehicle, will join the plants that currently produce Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208, and Lancia Ypsilon. The SUV compact, one of the best-selling electric cars in Spain, complements the already existing Leapmotor B10 production in Figueruelas. Leapmotor International's expansion in Europe through this second model production in Zaragoza deepens the company's technological and innovative integration in the region's automotive ecosystem, bringing its products closer to European consumers.

Danilo Annese, CEO of Leapmotor International, emphasized the strategic importance of Zaragoza for Leapmotor's industrial development in Europe. The production of B05 in Zaragoza represents another significant step in Leapmotor's European industrial journey, combining global technology with European manufacturing excellence to transform innovation into Europe-made vehicles for their intended customers. The Leapmotor B05 is priced from 19,400 euros, starting with the entry-level version featuring a 56.2 kWh battery.
