Stellantis plans to debut Leapmotor's electric vehicles in South Africa, starting with the C10 SUV in September. The C10 features a petrol engine solely for battery charging. More models, including fully electric ones, are expected next year. Stellantis holds a 21% stake in Leapmotor and aims to expand its affordable EV range. The company is committed to the South African market, building a new plant with a capacity of 100,000 vehicles by 2030, and targeting one million vehicle sales in the Middle East and Africa by the same year, with 35% expected to be electric.
