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.

Leapmotor Advances European Localization: B10 Pre-Production in Spain, B03X Launched in Italy at €19,900

In September 2026, Leapmotor began pre-production of the B10 compact battery-electric SUV at Stellantis's Zaragoza plant in Spain, using local content to avoid EU tariffs; at the same time, it launched the B03X small electric SUV in Italy at 19,900 euros to enter Europe's entry-level market. European BEV registrations in August reached 202,833 units, up 54.2% year on year, with a 30.5% market share. Chinese automakers' European localization paths are diverging: BYD tends to build multiple bases itself, while Leapmotor leverages Stellantis's production capacity.
