Stellantis spent roughly $26 billion building its own electric vehicles, then scrapped the plans. The Jeep and Peugeot owner will now build Leapmotor's B10 SUV at its Figueruelas factory in Zaragoza from 2026, and a second model at its Madrid plant from 2028. In May 2026, CEO Antonio Filosa placed Leapmotor at the center of FaSTLAne 2030, his €60 billion five-year plan to return Stellantis to profitability.
