#Leapmotor Sales Targets and Global Expansion#Chinese Automaker Global Expansion and Competition

[Corporate Strategy] Leapmotor has unveiled its new decade-long goal 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 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 of full-stack in-house R&D and extreme cost control, achieving profitability at scale and securing the top spot in NEV sales rankings in 2025.

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

Zhu Jiangming frankly acknowledged that the competitive window in the new energy vehicle market will only remain open for a few more years, emphasizing that Leapmotor must “race against time.” With overseas deliveries now underway, its globalization strategy could reshape the landscape of Chinese smart EV exports.
