In a statement quoted by the news agency, the company said it “is no longer assembling Leapmotor’s T03 model at the Tychy plant, in Poland, since March 30”.
“While the company remains fully engaged in the launch of Leapmotor vehicles in Europe, at the moment it is evaluating different production options,” Stellantis said.
The discontinuation of the T03 model assembly was initially reported by Les Echos, a French newspaper.

By GlobalDataA person with knowledge of the matter was cited by Reuters as saying that there are currently no plans to resume T03 production in Europe.
Instead, Stellantis and Leapmotor aim to transition to A-series models, expected to be manufactured outside China starting in 2026.
In 2024, Stellantis and Leapmotor decided against producing the B10 electric crossover in Poland.
This decision followed confidential advisories from the Chinese government, which urged automakers to hold off on substantial investments in European nations that supported additional EU tariffs on Chinese-made EVs.
Poland was among the EU countries that supported the imposition of tariffs while Spain, which had abstained from the EU tariff vote, is now emerging as the preferred location for manufacturing the Leapmotor B10 electric vehicle.
Stellantis holds a 51% stake in the Leapmotor International joint venture, possessing exclusive rights for the export, sale, and manufacturing of Leapmotor EVs outside of China.
