Stellantis is looking into bringing Chinese cars to North America.
The automotive giant’s CEO said there’s an opportunity to assemble Chinese-branded EVs in Mexico and Canada.
As for the United States, there is currently “no space” for doing something like this.
The automotive juggernaut that goes by the name of Stellantis is looking into manufacturing Chinese-branded cars in North America. The conglomerate, which has over a dozen brands under its wings, holds a majority stake in a joint venture with Leapmotor, enabling access to relatively cheap electric vehicles that could be assembled locally.
Antonio Filosa, Stellantis’ CEO, recently said that the company “for sure” sees opportunities in expanding the manufacturing and sales of Leapmotor-branded cars to Mexico, and potentially Canada. That said, don’t expect to see Leapmotor-branded EVs rolling down American streets anytime soon.
