Leapmotor Celebrates 10th Anniversary with New Target: 4 Million Annual Sales by 2035
[Corporate Strategy] Leapmotor has unveiled its new decade-long goal on its 10th anniversary, aiming to achieve annual sales of 4 million vehicles by 2035.
⚡ Core Development: From NEV Leader to Global Automotive Powerhouse
With 1.2 million cumulative deliveries, projected nearly 600,000 units sold in 2025, and 60,000 vehicles delivered overseas, Leapmotor has completed a transformation over the past decade—from an underdog to the top-selling new energy vehicle (NEV) brand among Chinese startups. At the 10th-anniversary event in Hangzhou, founder Zhu Jiangming announced an ambitious target to reach 1 million annual sales by 2026, with the ultimate goal of becoming a world-class smart EV manufacturer achieving 4 million annual sales within the next decade.
🔍 Strategic Foundation: Full-Stack In-House R&D and Cost Control Driving Long-Term Success
Through its full-stack in-house R&D approach and extreme cost efficiency, Leapmotor has not only survived the intense industry consolidation—where hundreds of NEV startups have fallen by the wayside—but also achieved profitability at scale. Zhu acknowledged that the company has just crossed the breakeven point and emphasized the urgency of acting swiftly during this fleeting window of opportunity in the new energy vehicle market, stating they must "race against time."
