Stellantis plant in Zaragoza prepares for production of Leapmotor vehicles
- The Stellantis Group is preparing its Spanish plant in Zaragoza to produce five new models under the Opel, Peugeot and Leapmotor brands between October 2026 and April 2028 .
• October 2026: Leapmotor B10 (electric C-class SUV).
• Spring 2027: Leapmotor B05 (electric compact sedan).
• October 2027: new generation of the Peugeot 208 (electric sedan in the B-segment).
• Winter 2027-2028: new generation of the Opel Mokka (electric SUV of the C-segment, derived from the Leapmotor B10).
• Spring 2028: new generation of the Opel Corsa (electric B-segment sedan).
- Please note that the market launch of the new Opel Mokka (which is moving from the B-segment to the C-segment) in 2028 coincides with the end of production of the current Opel Mokka at the Poissy plant in France. This will mark the end of assembly at the French site. Production of the Opel Corsa in Zaragoza is currently scheduled to continue until 2032.
- Stellantis has announced a production rate of 300 vehicles per day, or 60,000 per year, for the Leapmotor B10 series.
- Since the current production capacity of the Zaragoza plant is 480,000 vehicles per year, the four other models have to share the remaining 420,000 units. The plant is operating at a significant underutilization rate, which is why Stellantis is using Leapmotor to boost production: By 2025, 250,000 vehicles are to be produced in Zaragoza, including 206,000 Opel Corsas, 31,000 Peugeot e-208s, and 13,000 Lancia Ypsilons. Production of the latter will cease in 2030 and will not have a successor.
