Stellantis-Leapmotor Expand Global EV Partnerships

Stellantis与捷豹路虎将探索在美国产品开发方面的合作协同效应 - Stellantis.com

Stellantis announced on May 20 that it signed a memorandum of understanding with Jaguar Land Rover to explore product development collaboration in the United States. The agreement signals both automakers will evaluate joint opportunities for developing vehicles or components on the U.S. market, potentially leveraging shared engineering, platforms or supply-chain advantages. For Stellantis and Jaguar Land Rover, cooperation could lower development costs, speed time-to-market, and help address regional regulatory and electrification demands. The move matters to automotive and tech sectors because cross-company partnerships can reshape EV and software strategy, influence supplier networks, and affect competition among global OEMs in the U.S. market.

Leapmotor (零跑汽车) said at its Q1 2026 results meeting that plans to use Stellantis Group’s Brazil factory capacity to localize products for the South American market are moving forward. The company also confirmed that Opel (part of Stellantis) will co-produce the Leapmotor B10 at its Spain Figueruelas plant, with Opel models planned to launch in 2027–2028 and expected to affect Leapmotor’s revenue. Stellantis and Leapmotor recently expanded their strategic partnership to evaluate new lines in Zaragoza/Figueruelas to build a new Opel C-segment BEV—using competitively priced parts supplied by Leapmotor—to lower European retail prices and support Stellantis’ EV strategy, with volume production targeted around 2028.
