#Leapmotor Sales Targets and Global Expansion

[Corporate Strategy] Leapmotor has unveiled its new decade-long target on its 10th anniversary, aiming to become a global automaker with annual sales of 4 million vehicles.

⚡ Core Development: From NEV Leader to Global Scale

Founder Zhu Jiangming announced an ambitious goal to achieve 1 million annual sales by 2026, with a longer-term plan to reach 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 for Sustainable Growth

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 rankings. Zhu Jiangming candidly stated, “We’ve only just crossed the subsistence threshold. We have just a few years left in this critical window—we must act urgently and decisively.”

💡 Industry Impact: A Survival Blueprint Amid Intensifying Competition

As competition in the new energy vehicle sector reaches a fever pitch, Leapmotor offers a viable path forward for newcomers—one built on deep technological foundations and systematic capabilities, without reliance on continuous capital injections, and with unwavering focus on product execution.
