    T03  +1     loveable city car  https://www.leapmotor.net/uk/t03     At £76.45 per week, The Dacia Spring at £60.00 per week has never looked so appealing.

    April 8 (Reuters) – Stellantis has stopped making its Chinese partner Leapmotor’s (9863.HK) T03 small electric car in Poland since March 30th

    While the company remains fully engaged in the launch of Leapmotor vehicles in Europe, at the moment it is evaluating different production options,” Stellantis said, without providing further details, including whether the model might be relocated to another European plant.

    The production halt was first reported on Monday by French newspaper Les Echos.
    Stellantis did not say what caused the decision to stop T03 assembly.

    A person with knowledge of the matter said Stellantis and Leapmotor were not planning for now to resume T03 production in Europe. They are looking to upgrade T03 to A-series models that will be produced outside China from 2026, the person added.

    Last year, the partners scrapped plans to build in Poland a second Leapmotor model, the B10 electric crossover.

    That decision came after the Chinese government privately told automakers to pause big investments in European countries that backed extra European Union tariffs on Chinese-made EVs, sources told Reuters in November.

    Stellantis could be using Motability to shift stock?
