Stellantis-backed Chinese firm to "complement" its sibling brands with a range of affordable EVs
New Stellantis brand Leapmotor International won’t cannibalise sales from Citroën, Fiat, Peugeot and Vauxhall, but rather “present new opportunities for cross-shopping”, its CEO says, despite it having broadly similar brand values. “We consider Leapmotor as complementary to the 14 brands we have in the family, for a number of reasons,” Tianshu Xin explained. “Number one, Leapmotor is a pure-EV brand and hailing from China.
Key among this technology is Leapmotor’s ‘cell-to-chassis’ construction method, which it claims improves an EV’s battery layout, leaves more space for passengers and increases torsional rigidity , all while reducing production costs – and which Xin said could possibly be synergised with other Stellantis brands in the future.
