Rates and rules to be confirmed
Reference prices; the final quote decides. Prices, duties and taxes are estimates — the formal quote, the signed contract and the destination's customs decide. Not a quote or legal advice.
Exports go through a Chinese export company (export agency, named in the contract), which handles the export licence, customs, inspection and shipping. Since 2026 pure-electric passenger cars need a Chinese export licence.

The story behind the name
Leapmotor was founded in Hangzhou in December 2015 by Fu Liquan and Zhu Jiangming, co-founders of the camera maker Dahua; 零跑 (Língpǎo) means 'zero run'. In 2023 Stellantis bought about 20% for €1. 5 billion and formed Leapmotor International to sell the cars abroad.
