Leapmotor accelerates European expansion

Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Leapmotor has marked a major milestone in its European growth strategy, reaching 600 Sales and Service Points (POS) across the continent. The achievement comes less than a year after the brand launched its European development plan in late 2024 and signals its rapid rise in the region’s competitive EV market.

With eyes set on surpassing 700 locations by the end of 2025, Leapmotor is reinforcing its commitment to accessible, sustainable mobility while building one of the most comprehensive EV service networks in Europe.

“This rapid expansion underlines our commitment to building a truly customer-centric EV ecosystem in Europe,” said Danilo Annese, Head of Europe Commercial Operations at Leapmotor International.

“We are not only scaling our presence but ensuring that Leapmotor owners enjoy comprehensive support and service wherever they are.”

Leapmotor’s growth is built on a strong dealer and service infrastructure, ensuring customers benefit from short drive times – averaging under 25 minutes – to the nearest service point. This proximity is key to enhancing convenience, improving service response times, and increasing overall satisfaction in the EV ownership journey.

Over the past two weeks, Leapmotor has launched operations in seven new European markets through high-profile distribution partnerships:

Ireland: Partnering with Gowan Auto, a major distributor and part of the Gowan Group, Leapmotor will offer its T03 city car and C10 SUV (BEV and REEV versions) from September 2025, operating out of Gowan’s advanced Distribution Centre in Citywest, Dublin.
Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia): In collaboration with the Emil Frey Group, Leapmotor expands its reach in these key markets. Already established in Switzerland, Emil Frey brings deep expertise in retail and aftersales to support Leapmotor’s regional roll-out.
Bulgaria: Through a new agreement with SFA Automotive LTD, a seasoned distributor of Stellantis brands, Leapmotor will offer its lineup in Bulgaria supported by a fast-growing local sales and service network.

Leapmotor’s European strategy is rooted in capillarity, convenience, and customer care. By investing in strong local partnerships and infrastructure, the company aims to support the mainstream adoption of electric mobility across both mature and emerging markets.
