Leapmotor B10

Leapmotor B10 Begins Production in Spain with Co-Line Manufacturing and Mallén Battery Assembly

On October 16, 2026, Leapmotor B10 started mass production at the Zaragoza plant in Spain; leveraging its cooperation with Stellantis, it is produced on the same lines as the Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208 and Lancia Ypsilon. The two sides are also building a battery assembly base in Malián, extending localization from complete vehicles to key components. Since 2026, Leapmotor has exceeded 100,000 monthly sales for three consecutive months, ranking fourth among global new energy vehicle brands. This dual-plant layout uses a joint venture and shared lines to reuse a mature manufacturing system, offering a reference for Chinese automakers' European localization, but capacity ramp-up, quality stability and delivery coordination still await data verification.

People familiar with the matter say BYD may be included in the Chinese corporate delegation for the China-US summit, but this has not yet been officially confirmed. In the European market, BEV registrations in 16 core markets reached 202,800 in August, up 54.2% year on year, with market share rising to 30.5%; cumulative registrations in the first eight months exceeded 1.67 million. Leapmotor is pre-producing the B10 at Stellantis's Zaragoza plant in Spain, using local content to circumvent EU tariffs; BYD plans to build three vehicle assembly plants and one battery plant in Europe, with trade policies and export channels adjusted in tandem.
