OPmobility has been awarded two contracts by Leapmotor International to supply passenger cars with front and rear bumpers as well as tailgates in Europe. As the first contracts awarded by Leapmotor to OPmobility outside of China, they highlight the strength of the Group’s global R&D and production footprint in supporting Leapmotor’s international expansion. Start of production is planned for 2027.
The bumpers and tailgates supplied by OPmobility will be produced at the Group’s existing facilities in Spain. OPmobility has a strong industrial production footprint already in operation and in-depth knowledge of the European market to serve its international customers.
This partnership with Leapmotor International, the joint venture between Stellantis and Leapmotor, builds on OPmobility’s established collaboration with both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) around the world. OPmobility has been supplying exterior body parts to Leapmotor since 2023 through YFPO, its joint venture with the Yanfeng Group in China. OPmobility has been present in China since 2007. YFPO is the country’s market leader in exterior solutions: bumpers, tailgates, modules.
Félicie Burelle, Chief Executive Officer of OPmobility, stated: “This is the second significant award OPmobility has secured in just a few months to support a Chinese OEM in Europe. Our production capacities in Europe and worldwide are valuable assets for customers seeking to expand beyond their domestic markets. This award highlights the strong relationship OPmobility has built with Leapmotor in China in just a few years, alongside its long–standing partnership with Stellantis, the two parent companies of Leapmotor International. Together, these achievements prove the effectiveness of OPmobility’s diversification strategy, demonstrating its ability to perform across a broad customer base, multiple technologies, and diverse geographies in every mobility segment.”
