Leapmotor Announces B05 Production in Zaragoza (Spain), Strengthening Its “Made in Europe” Industrial Presence

Following the start of B10 production, Leapmotor International expands its European manufacturing presence with B05 the second model built in Zaragoza (Spain).

Monday, October 19, 2026

Leapmotor International announces its plans to produce the Leapmotor B05 at the Stellantis manufacturing plant in Zaragoza, Spain, marking a new chapter in the company�s long-term commitment to Europe.

The announcement follows the official inauguration of Leapmotor B10 production at the same plant on 16 October and confirms Zaragoza�s strategic role in Leapmotor International�s industrial development.

With B05 production planned as the next step, Leapmotor International is set to expand beyond the localisation of a single model, further expanding its European manufacturing capabilities while continuing to bring Leapmotor�s technology and product innovation closer to European consumers.

From global technology to Made in Europe
Leapmotor International�s global strategy is built on a simple principle: combine advanced technology and rapid innovation with strong local industrial capabilities. The planned production of the B05 in Zaragoza brings this approach to life, combining Leapmotor�s expertise in electric mobility and product development with Stellantis� European manufacturing know-how, industrial scale and high quality standards.

Following the launch of B10 production, the decision to bring the B05 to Zaragoza as the next planned model takes this strategy a step further. Global technology becomes European industrial reality, embedding Leapmotor more deeply into the region�s automotive ecosystem and bringing production closer to the customers it serves.

This is what Made in Europe means for Leapmotor International: not simply manufacturing vehicles in Europe, but building them within an established European industrial ecosystem, supported by local expertise, skilled employees, suppliers and proven production processes.

This approach reflects Leapmotor International�s view that becoming a truly global automotive company means becoming part of the industrial and economic ecosystems of the regions in which the company operates and bringing manufacturing closer to customers.

With the B10 already in production and the B05 planned to follow, Zaragoza becomes a concrete expression of Leapmotor International�s local-for-local approach, connecting global innovation with European manufacturing excellence.

�The planned production of the Leapmotor B05 in Zaragoza represents another major step in our European journey,� said Danilo Annese, CEO of Leapmotor International. �Following the successful launch of B10 production, bringing a second Leapmotor model to Zaragoza underlines the strategic importance of the plant for our European industrial development. We are bringing together the best of global technology and European manufacturing excellence, turning innovation into vehicles Made in Europe, closer to the customers they are designed to serve.�

The addition of the B05 to future production plans also underlines the long-term potential of the cooperation between Leapmotor and Stellantis. A tangible example of global cooperation, industrial value in Europe and sustainable, long-term growth in the region.

Global technology. European manufacturing excellence.

Made in Europe, for Europe.
