Lieder Automotive Opens New Facility in Borja for EV Chassis

Lieder Automotive Opens New Production Facility in Borja

The Lieder Automotive Borja Facility has opened at the Fagor Group cooperative's facilities in Borja, Aragon, establishing a new production site for structural automotive components. Lieder Automotive is a joint venture between Duoli Technology and Fagor Ederlan. The facility will produce structural components for Leapmotor's B10 and B05 electric models. These vehicles are assembled at the Stellantis plant in Figueruelas, also in Aragon, connecting the new component manufacturing operation directly with production of the two electric models in the region.

Facility Includes 15,000 Square Meters and 138 Robots

The Borja facility includes more than 15,000 square meters of production space and is equipped with fourteen production lines and 138 robots. This combination of production lines and robotic equipment forms the manufacturing infrastructure for the structural components supplied for the specified Leapmotor models. The facility's scale reflects the production requirements associated with its role in the vehicle supply chain. Its location within the Fagor Group cooperative's facilities in Borja also places the operation within Aragon, where the related vehicles are assembled at the Stellantis plant in Figueruelas.

Production Capacity Reaches 40,000 Chassis Annually

The new facility will have the capacity to manufacture up to 40,000 chassis per year. The chassis production capability is intended to support the structural component requirements of Leapmotor's B10 and B05 electric models. Those models are assembled at the Stellantis plant in Figueruelas, creating a direct manufacturing relationship between component production in Borja and vehicle assembly elsewhere in Aragon. The stated annual capacity provides a defined production ceiling for the facility while its fourteen production lines and 138 robots provide the manufacturing infrastructure described for the site.

Joint Venture Connects Duoli Technology and Fagor Ederlan

Lieder Automotive operates as a joint venture between Duoli Technology and Fagor Ederlan, bringing the two companies together through the new Borja manufacturing operation. The facility was opened on September 30 at the Fagor Group cooperative's facilities. Its output is focused on structural components for the B10 and B05 electric models, while vehicle assembly takes place at Stellantis' Figueruelas plant. The arrangement therefore links the joint venture's component manufacturing activity with the regional assembly operation for the specified Leapmotor vehicles.

Leapmotor Models Connect Borja Production With Figueruelas Assembly

The structural components manufactured in Borja will be used in Leapmotor's B10 and B05 electric models. Final vehicle assembly for these models takes place at the Stellantis plant in Figueruelas, making both facilities part of the production chain supporting the vehicles. The Borja site adds dedicated structural-component manufacturing capacity within Aragon, while the Figueruelas operation performs vehicle assembly. The development therefore establishes a regional manufacturing connection between component production and vehicle assembly without changing the stated production role of either facility.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The new Borja operation strengthens the regional manufacturing infrastructure supporting Leapmotor electric vehicle production by adding dedicated capacity for structural components. Its 40,000-chassis annual capacity, fourteen production lines, and 138 robots provide a defined industrial base for supplying the B10 and B05 programs assembled in Figueruelas. For the companies involved, the facility links joint-venture manufacturing activity with vehicle assembly within the same Aragon region. The immediate significance is therefore concentrated on production capacity and supply-chain coordination for the specified electric models, while future utilization of the facility will depend on the production requirements associated with those vehicle programs.
