1. China's Leapmotor starts B10 production at Zaragoza plant in Spain, plans second EU model

   Chinese EV maker Leapmotor, partnering with Stellantis, is advancing European local production at the Zaragoza (Figueruelas) plant in Spain: the first locally built B10 has started production, and a second model is planned; Leapmotor is also building a battery assembly plant in Mallén about 30 km from the factory. Reports said Zaragoza capacity can reach about 300,000 vehicles a year, with 2026 B10 output planned in the thousands to low tens of thousands for Spain, France, Italy and other markets. Chairman Zhu Jiangming called it true local CKD by a Chinese carmaker in Europe, aimed at EU tariffs on Chinese EVs and 'made in Europe' requirements.
