LEAPMOTOR BRAND AND TECHNOLOGY

Overview of Leapmotor
Founded in 2015, Leapmotor focuses on the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of intelligent electric vehicles. As a technology-leading smart EV company, Leapmotor is a tech company.

Leapmotor aims to be user-centric, bringing innovation that are easy-to-use and creating content-rich and affordable products without compromises on quality and durability.

Leapmotor, in the founding dream of his creator Mr. Zhu, believes that content-rich, higher-quality, and affordable products can bring more happiness to users’ travel and life. And make excellence accessible.

Fully in-house research and development is the foundation of Leapmotor’s technology. To date, over 65% of core components are self-researched and manufactured.

Leapmotor has successively launched industry-first technologies such as the eight-in-one electric drive, the first mass-produced CTC (cell-to-chassis) battery integration technology, and the first four-domain central electronic and electrical architecture.

Leapmotor’s current product lineup, which visitors can appreciate on the auto show booth, includes B10, C10 and T03 sold globally, C16, C11, C01, B01 for the greater China market, offering both pure electric and range-extended power options.
 

Leapmotor Technology strengths
The LEAP3.5 technology architecture, built on the foundation of LEAP3.0, achieves super integration and optimization of software and hardware. It is launched with the Leapmotor B10, offering industry-leading driving experience.

The new architecture delivers the world’s most integrated central domain control architecture: cockpit and driving control associated to the world’s shortest 996-meter wiring covering up to 22 ECU controls and over 200 open-source interfaces.

Intelligent driving is not a single-dimensional experience but a multi-dimensional coordination of the entire vehicle.

Software upgrades are unlimited thanks to over-the-air capabilities offered to the consumers

On the powertrain domain, the 7-in-1 intelligent oil-cooled electric drive delivers a smooth and powerful driving feeling thanks to the deep integration of VCU & MCU, with a response time 5 times faster and zero delay in power delivery.

CTC (Cell-To-Chassis) 2.0+ battery integration allows more space and vehicle mass optimization.

The most integrated 27-in-1 super thermal management system and “scenario-based” energy management, improve the driving range up to 10%.

Amongst the newly introduced features, the LMC (Leapmotor Motion Control) provides with advanced safety and stability of the trajectory even in case of tire blowout.


Leapmotor’s Business Achievements in China
Fueled by a constant year-on-year growth since its debut in 2019, Leapmotor achieved in 2024 a revenue of 32.16 billion yuan (4.4B USD), maintaining strong growth. The gross margin reached 8.4%, a new high. Total deliveries reached 293,724 units, ranking third among domestic new force brands with the fastest year-on-year growth rate. It also ranked 11th among global new energy brands.

2025 has started on the same strong dynamic and in March 2025, Leapmotor delivered 37,095 units across its entire lineup, a year-on-year increase of over 154%, ranking first among new force brands.

Thanks to the very positive market response Leapmotor is entering a new stage of rapid development, investing more funds in the development of innovative features and service capabilities.
 

Leapmotor’s Global Expansion
Leapmotor International is committed to bring technology-centered and affordable electric mobility solutions to global customers outside Greater China.  

The company began operations in Europe, Middle-East and Asia Pacific starting in September 2024 and plans to expand its business to South America and new Countries in 2025.

On October 26, 2023, Leapmotor and Stellantis Group formed a global strategic partnership, with Stellantis investing approximately €1.5 billion in Leapmotor. This marks the first of a cooperation project between a Chinese new force automaker and a multinational giant, pioneering a new model of light-asset globalization.

On May 14, 2024, Leapmotor and Stellantis established Leapmotor International LEAPMOTOR INTERNATIONAL B.V., with 49% and 51% equity respectively. Headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Leapmotor International aims to achieve sales and profit growth for Leapmotor vehicles globally (excluding Greater China).

Stellantis Group has provided strong support for Leapmotor’s entry into international markets. The cooperation between the two parties covers channel networks, after-sales service, automotive finance, logistics, and component empowerment.

As of April 2025, Leapmotor International has expanded to 23 international markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and South America, with over 550 sales and after-sales service outlets. It is expected to reach 700 by 2026, laying a solid foundation for Leapmotor’s global sales and services.

The B-Series will launch export versions in the middle of this year. The first global model of the B-Series, the B10, is scheduled to be launched in Europe in the fourth quarter of this year. The third product of the B-Series, the B05, is also planned to be revealed to the world in the fourth quarter of this year. The dual-power strategy (BEV and Range-Extended EV) will complete the overseas layout. Over the next three years, Leapmotor International will launch at least one new model each year.

The two models currently on sale in Europe and outside China, the T03 and C10, have achieved a sales ramp-up in the European market with their excellent cost-performance ratio. German automotive media Elektroauto-News ranked the “cost per kilometer range” of European pure electric vehicles in 2025, with the Leapmotor T03 achieving an outstanding score of €0.82 per kilometer, surpassing other electric vehicles on sale in Europe and becoming the new “range-cost efficiency champion.” The first global model, the C10, won the “2023 International CMF Design Award” for its technological feel and natural aesthetic design. Subsequently, it also won the 2024 French Design Award (FDA) Gold Medal, as well as the 2024 MUSE Design Award (MDA) Gold Medal and the 2024 IDEA Design Award (U.S. Industrial Design Excellence Award).
