Original: Leapmotor becomes 1st China automaker to build EVs and batteries in Europe, thanks to Stellantis assist
Leapmotor has become the first Chinese automaker to manufacture both electric vehicles and batteries in Europe, with support from its partner Stellantis. The move marks a significant step in Chinese carmakers' expansion overseas, following a model similar to Japanese automakers' earlier strategy of building factories abroad to serve local markets and sidestep tariffs.
Why now: It signals a new phase in Chinese EV makers' global expansion and has implications for European trade and industrial policy.
