⚡ Core Development: From NEV Leader to Global Pioneer

Founder Zhu Jiangming announced an ambitious target to achieve 1 million annual sales by 2026, with a long-term vision of reaching 4 million annual sales by 2035. By the end of 2025, Leapmotor’s cumulative deliveries have surpassed 1.2 million units, with full-year sales expected to approach 600,000 units, including approximately 60,000 units delivered overseas.

🔍 Strategic Foundation: Full-Stack In-House R&D and Cost Control as Competitive Moats

Over the past decade, Leapmotor has distinguished itself among hundreds of new energy vehicle (NEV) startups through its “engineer-driven” approach—characterized by full-stack in-house R&D and extreme cost efficiency—achieving profitability at scale and securing the top spot in NEV sales among Chinese startups in 2025.

💡 Industry Impact: Narrowing Window of Opportunity Drives Accelerated Global Expansion

Zhu Jiangming candidly acknowledged that the window of opportunity in the new energy vehicle market “will only last a few more years,” emphasizing the urgency for Leapmotor to act swiftly.
