This strategic decision solidifies the presence of the Chinese brand in Europe and reinforces the role of the Spanish plant as a key hub for the production of compact electric vehicles and SUVs aimed at the European market.

The previously formalized agreement between Leapmotor and Stellantis stipulates that the European automotive giant acquires a significant stake in the Chinese company, thereby facilitating its international expansion and the rapid introduction of low-cost models to the continent.

The localization of production in Aragon addresses the need to circumvent potential import tariffs imposed by the European Union on vehicles manufactured entirely in China, ensuring a more stable and competitive supply chain.

The roadmap announcement details the specific models that will be integrated into the assembly line, a crucial step for the reindustrialization and adaptation of Stellantis facilities to the new era of electric mobility.
