Money Moves

Executing FaSTLAne 2030; placed Leapmotor at the center of a €60 billion five-year turnaround; expanding the partnership beyond Europe into Mexico and Canada

Stellantis spent roughly $26 billion building its own electric vehicles, then scrapped the plans.

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.
